PS work should generally be done in a wide-gamut space like AdobeRGB or
ProPhotoRGB. Final images intended for web display or general viewing
should be converted to sRGB as it is closest to what an unprofiled PC
will give you. Profiles are used to keep things consistent through any
colour managed application.
Most applications don't have a space, because they don't do colour
management. But sRGB is quite close to what they'll display.

Thanks for the comments.
The profile in PS is for use on my calibrated monitor and printer. Not
necessarily anywhere else?
Should most work in PS be done in sRGB? Is sRGB the default in most
viewer/editors?

Godfrey's correct here. The reason that sRGB seems to be obeyed is
because the native space for most applications that don't obey ICM
profiles is quite close to sRGB (Which is in fact why it was
created), so they'll usually be close to correct.
By "native space" you really mean that most apps/systems completely
ignore the whole concept of colour management, and sRGB just happens
to correspond quite well with CRT monitors (by design, not coincidence).
As far as web graphics are concerned, it's all academic until every
monitor in the world is regularly calibrated & profiled.
