Eh ? sRGB may have a somewhat limited gamut, but nothing inherent in it
dictates that the sky is purple or apples are orange !
Are you really putting forward this argument as a rational reason for
not using sRGB ? Or are you merely implying in an indirect way that
sRGB is incompatible with the large number of untagged images that
are floating about the Apple sub-space of the computer world ?
(or are you complaining about the implementation of the gamut clipping
algorithms Apple are using in their CMM ?)
