I forgot to add that my main interest in asking is to work out the best =
technical approach to working with HDR footage in a 32-bit project =
(usually linear).  While I=E2=80=99m interested to know if there are =
benefits to basic motion graphics and normal HD video, I have often had =
a hunch that if you have beautiful HDR footage or renders and you want =
to work in 32-bit float, then sRGB is going to handicap the process =
somehow...
