I would be interested to know what the advantage would
be of using
s-RGB in such a workflow.
Top advantages I can think of off the top of my head:
1. The colors in the file can be displayed on the monitor. Larger
spaces have colors that exist but you can't see what you're editing.
2. Colors in the file will not be vastly outside the print gamut, so
you're not going to have problems during image editing/enhancement at
over saturating the image beyond the ability of the output profile to
successfully compress the gamut and retain detail.
3. In the event the file goes to someone with just Photoshop defaults
with color management turned off and ignoring embedded profiles, he
will more likely be assuming sRGB as the source profile than anything
else.
#3 is a perverse realty in the United States more than perhaps in
Europe.
