So my optional within the RAW theory is in tatters. Thanks for setting me straight.

It is a simple thing to do in the camera, you don't need no stinking 5GHz Pentium super duper processor. But then again, theEXIF file may provide the lens data, and some add-in that is tuned to this camera, provides the gain algorithm in the computer. If it were done on the computer from user supplied data ( No coded lenses were used) , it would be necessary for you to remember the lens you used to take that picture... highly doubtful that if you came back from 3 weeks in Europe with 45,395 pictures that you could remember which lens took what picture......the true reason for coded lenses.... Senioritis..... There is also the issue that the oblique angle from a 28 Elmarit might be different than a 28 Summicron....so the specific lens design will affect the algorithm. I do not see this in the lens coding possibilities. I still don't get it, and like I said, it could be marketing hype...... Frank Filippone red735i@earthlink.net My interpretation of Leica's info release was that the correction data was stored within the RAW file, like white balance information and could be used or disregarded.
