Implementors faced with no standard are choosing different solutions

One thing one might do is bring up the issue of displaying untagged at
the ICC having the ICC issue a white paper on the subject.
The World Wide Web Consortium has adopted the idea of using sRGB for
untagged content already in HTML 4 and CSS 2, see
<http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/types.html#h-6.5>
<http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS2/syndata.html#color-units> and
<http://www.w3.org/Graphics/Color/sRGB>:
"Browsing Scenarios
The following cases describe what an end-user sees in the various
scenarios: [...]
Image not in sRGB, does not have an embedded ICC profile, and system has
a monitor/output device ICC profile
Since the image has no ICC profile, it is assumed to be in the sRGB
color space. In this scenario, the resulting image will be consistent
across devices; however it could be different from the original image."
... so at least for Web Browsers the question is moot: the default color
space should be sRGB.
