Here is my version :

<dt><b><tt>-dKEEPDEVICECOLORS </tt></b>
<dd>This switch prevents the substitution of the
<b><tt>DefaultGray</tt></b>, <b><tt>DefaultRGB</tt></b>, and
<b><tt>DefaultCMYK</tt></b> colors spaces with
<b><tt>DefaultGray</tt></b>, <b><tt>DefaultRGB</tt></b>, and
<b><tt>DefaultCMYK</tt></b> resources of the
<b><tt>ColorSpace</tt></b> resource category.
This switch is primarily useful for PDF creation using the
<tt><b>pdfwrite</b></tt>
device when retaining the color spaces from the original document
may be important.
