I don't agree. I understand why they are honoring embedded profiles only. If Apple were to go it alone, and went full color management there would be a complete disconnect instantly for all Safari users compared to the remaining 90% of the planet that does not user Safari. Any solution needs to be coordinated or it makes the problem of color on the internet worse by making it more fractured.
How would it cause a "disconnect"? (Not trying to be a wise-ass, but I'm
genuinely surprised)
Safari *now* causes a "disconnect", since it's displaying backgrounds
different from images with a profile. (a good reason not to embed a
profile in images that need to match a background). Same for Firefox3.6
/ 4 at default. (together roughly 35% market share AFAIK)
If the entire website shows "oversaturated" on a wide gamut screen (non
color managed browser), that's not a big issue (to the average user).
If the entire display shows normal (fully color managed), that's not an
issue either.
If *only parts of the website* look wrong (Safari or FF at default),
that is an issue I'd say.
Best would be to assume sRGB for untagged "whatever", including flash
and other plugin content I'd say.
Or no color management whatsoever and hope your audience doesn't have a
wide gamut screen.
I know what I'd choose. That's why I use FF4 with full color management
enabled ;)
