What part is confusing? As it is now, standard Cocoa behavior is to
match images to the display's profile. In the case of untagged
data, the display's profile is assumed as the source, which means
basically that no match occurs.
The part that's confusing is that the documentation states that
Generic RGB rather than the display profile is assumed as source,
which it clearly is not.
I can't speak for non-graphics-intensive apps developed by other
companies, but ideally they should mimic this behavior. If they use
standard Cocoa behavior it's inherited for free. Graphics
intensive apps like Photoshop will almost surely always behave
differently because they'll almost almost allow the user to have
more control over color conversions.
I'm sorry, but this is insane. Assuming the display profile as source
virtually guarantees that the color will be displayed incorrectly
unless it was created in a non-color-managed application on that
machine. Moreover, since it's exactly the result you'd get with no
color management, it's just adding a layer of redundant options whose
only function is to confuse the user, and ensure that they get the
same dark muddy web images they've come to know and hate. Assuming
sRGB for untagged RGB would at least have given us a fighting chance
to display web images correctly. I really hope this changes in teh
future, because for now it's a completely useless behavior.
