use of sRGB as a default (revisited)

Hello,

I do not know if this has been digged up ever again since 2004, but couldn't find it in the search since key words are so generic, so just in case:

Now that John Zimmerer has been long gone from Apple, and he seemed to be one of the key proponents at Apple of Generic RGB as default profile for non-tagged images because it looks better than when using sRGB (i.e. nothing to do about consistency, but simply on how pictures intended for a Generic RGB color space look better when such one is assumed -duh!-), has the current Colorsync team at Apple any (same/different) opinion on why things are still the same in Leopard as were on Panther?

I find it very frustrating how only tagged pictures, and only when viewed in profile-aware apps, will look the same on all computers? Not only that, but how even sRGB tagged files will look wrong no matter what on such a popular app as Firefox too (the fact that Firefox is not profile-aware is not a thing to blame Apple for, but it is still Apple's decision to display everything as GenericRGB on non profile-aware apps, even when those apps display images tagged as sRGB).

For reference, this is the post that started the thread:
