Peter, unless the majority of visitors are connecting from macs,
convert pictures to sRGB, no need to include profiles.
That way Win users (no Colorsync savy browser available at all for that
platform) see colors like intended, Mac user see dark pictures, and
Mac IE users with color correction enabled again see colors like
intended -- Mac IE color correction defaults to assume sRGB.
I doubt any more effort onto color correction for web publishing
purposes would be reasonable -- estimating 90% of displays aren't
corrected at all.
