Yes, you are right, PDF/A only requires embedding a proper profile it
does not have to be CMYK. Using e.g. sRGB suffices. I noticed myself
after sending my mail yesterday (it was a busy day).

Take PDF/X-1a then. Same game but requires CMYK.
You asked for an application.

You might have noticed my note "in conjunction with ICC profiles" in my
mail, did you?

But this part of the discussion leads somehow in a different direction.
