users. Not a small segment of color geeks. Simple is better. Most of the
world treats untagged images as sRGB, therefore I think we're all better
off if that's the way OS X apps behaved as well. And if we don't like
it, embed a profile in the image. Apple provides choice by making an
easy to use system for the app to respect embedded profiles, and pass
them off to the OS which does the work.
One approach to dealing with this would be to regard "the web" as a device,
(it is a source of device dependent images) and assign it a profile,
just like any other device connected with a system. Obviously more
specific information as to an images colorspace (such as an embedded
profile) should be made use of, if available.
