John, may I make a suggestion?
Assuming sRGB for untagged images would be far more likely to result in expected behavior.
The primary display may behave quite differently from the secondary displays, and the chances that any match the original color space of the image is essentially non-existant.
On the other hand, the default for almost any ICC-aware application is to save images, tagged or otherwise, in sRGB. This is especially true of digital cameras and Web publishing software.
Assuming sRGB will, at the least, result in all displays showing the same colors (within, of course, the limits of the displays and the quality of the display profiles). And, in the real world, it will almost always result in the colors being displayed as originally intended.
Of course, the next logical step would be for all UI elements to be appropriately color managed, something which I strongly suspect is not the case....
Cheers,
b&
