Frank I found a reference since in the DP Review that said the optional use 
of the bit coding info was a selection on the menu. So
my optional within the RAW theory is in tatters.
Thanks for setting me straight.
Cheers
Hoppy

I doubt it.  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......

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.
