Safari assumes untagged images to be in the space of the default
display's profile. This is the same behavior as Preview, so the nice
thing is an image opened in Preview looks the same as an image opened
in Safari, whether it has an embedded profile or not. If you have
multiple displays you can set which one is the default using ColorSync
Utility. Assigning any profile to untagged data is always a guessing
game since you have no idea what the creation environment was. A case
could have been made on either side of the issue, either assuming sRGB
or assuming the display's profile, basically a no op. I imagine the
choice came down on the side of assuming the display's profile for
untagged data in order to have a unified behavior with other cocoa apps
on the system.
