In case anyone is up for some color geek fun:
I thought that at least Safari and OmniWeb assumed sRGB as a source
profile for any untagged images, and then did display compensation.
That's definitely not the case in Panther. When I put an sRGB tagged
image and an untagged image side by side, they're not the same and
digital color meter also says they're not the same. The untagged image
is behaving as monitor RGB (sometimes there's a one level different in
one or two channels). Nothing is being assumed as the source profile.
I was sure that Safari under Jaguar was assuming sRGB as source.
Whether TIFF or JPEG, whether directly opened, or through HTML,
untagged images behave as monitor RGB, not sRGB. This isn't expected.
