Interesting observation. I ETTR (expose to the right), as most of you know, and shoot in RAW and then in RAW conversion to jpeg or tiff I apply my own S-curve, raise contrast (both of which darken the image) and then, finally, adjust the brightness level (it can go either way, because of the already darkened image from the untouched RAW).
If someone takes my EXIF and uses it to generate in-camera jpegs, they'll be very dissappointed in the washed out images they'll get.
