To satisfy Apple, I think some kind of system preference could/should be
used, as Andrew argued -- nothing wrong with that. Make it sRGB by default
and have an interface for the user to change this, if he/she so desire. I
mean, let's not build "black boxes", goodness sake but "open systems", color
democracies. If a user is convinced that proPhotoRGB is better for Safari,
well, who am I to argue what that user? As Klaus pointed out, the 3www
consortium agrees that sRGB makes the best sense to use. As long as Mr Apple
keeps hard coding these references in, I can see this discussion dragging
and re-surfacing once in a while, as it does now. But the day Apple will let
the user decide, while giving them some *meaningful* defaults, then
everybody will be better off.
Those implementors who have no clue about what standard to choose need come
to this forum for guidance and be told where to find the ICC web site
(www.color.org).
My two cents.
