I agree that there is not much other choice, for now? But, at the stage of
adoption of the technological innovation that color management is, I don't
think it's good to hide that kind of apparent complexity from the user. I am
all for making things explicit. I see it as important as allowing me a way
to set my home page in my browser. To me, this kind of flexibility is
paramount. With time, it will become an automatism. But not now. I think it
is too premature. But that's my opinion.

Yes, I am all for an advanced kind of preferences. As long as I can retain
some kind of control of what's going on in the browser, colorwise.

Well, the more I think about this one, the more I think it may not be
necessary after all. But I would like Safari to tell me, at least, what is
it using. In fact, just like in Photoshop when you pull the RGB working
space you can see that profile corresponds to the monitor: you can't change
it in Photoshop but it is very conforting to see it POSTED there.

Aha! You are in favor of affording the user some control after all?
