Depends to a large extent on the user and intended use. For you or I, 
who never see JPEG output, there may be no authority but our own eyes. 
Certainly I don't rely on the ACR defaults as any more than a starting 
point.

For someone who has honed their in-camera settings to produce JPEGs they 
think are right, it's become the camera. For those who use ICC profiles, 
it's the profiles. I have to say it is a joy to scan film I have 
profiled and get great color, local contrast, etc. right out of the scan.

It may be time to try profiling the 5D. I'm not sure how to go about 
that; may have to apply the thinking cap.
