Well, if no encoding is performed because the color encoding scheme is
RGB, the colorspace does anyway define an encoding method, so it seems
to me the latter is more appropriate (use DEFAULT and ignore when read).

That's anyway just my opinion, but I could send a patch for
documentation and see what feedback it gets.

From a white surface:
min = 0x39
max = 0xfc

From a black surface:
min = 0x00 (with 62 occurrences)
max = 0x8b

I guess that's indeed full range quantization

I had a yellowish light that didn't work that well, I ended up putting
a white paper sheet in front of it and then took the picture.
