Well, how about integrating a visual calibrator with the browser

That will manage gray balance and tonal reproduction, but not
primaries. Visual calibrations still either assume the primaries, or
get them from EDID.
Maybe a wizard upon installation of the browser that strongly
suggests the
user go through a visual calibration process? It would be better
than no
profile, or EDIDs currently. What's the W3 doing here?
They had color management profiles and intents in CSS3 proposed, but
there were no implementations so they yanked it in the latest draft.
How about
parameters in the IMG tag for a profile stored externally from the
image
(or internally, seeing as bandwidth is rising), or one of the local
standard profiles? Standards, damn it! What's VESA doing? The ICC?
No one wants to get close to this apparently. That's why I'm not in
favor of options. Flash needs to get on the stick and become color
managed by default assuming sRGB as source unless otherwise
instructed; and then web browsers can do the same.
