Ahh, Poynton, coincidently I had a look at that book after wondering
elsewhere in this thread what 709 RGB was. So at least thanks to him I
now know that 709 RGB (well R'G'B') is the same primaries as sRGB, but
annoyingly not quite the same WRT the expected gamma of the display.

I guess the difference 2.4 vs 2.2 is small enough not to be noticeable
between watching on a TV and computer (both of which are adjustable anyway).
