It's not Adobe's problem if Pentax doesn't properly follow DNG standard. The DNG standard already have everything that's needed to support HDR/PS. Pentax only have to tell their software guys to follow the standard...

Adobe already support HDR DNG from the 1.4 specification. They are using floating point data to store information. What K-3 should do was merging the images with the help of the shake reduction and create one single image with floating point instead of a bogus DNG file with several images in one file.
And Adobe already support images with RGB data. It's called linear DNG. It's a functional and great format and a MUCH better alternative than creating four images in one bogus DNG file for each pixel shift image.
So we should instead ask Ricoh why they don't use standard DNG instead of creating their own bogus files which only their own software supports. Whats the point with an open file format as DNG when the data within are non-standard and require special software? I could understand it if there wasn't any alternatives, but DNG support both HDR and pixel shift. Why not use it as specified?
If Adobe should start supporting special DNG functionality made up by Pentax/Ricoh, why should they stop there? After a while the DNG format would be a total mess. I think it is a much better solution for us and Adobe to just stick with the specification and try to force/encourage camera producers to stay with the specification and not make their own extensions to DNG.
