Apart from that, why would you want to use a color space for your output 
that's larger than what most displays are able of showing, independant of 
proper calibration/profiling? Atm at least, only (some) high-end screens can 
show more than sRGB, so using sRGB for web export seems the best choice.

For printing it's a different story, best thing there is conform to what your 
print shop wants / can handle.

And  you cannot use the same export for both web and printing anyway, unless 
you make very small prints. Aside from colour problems, you get the best 
result if the image is displayed at 100%, i.e. without resizing. Any 
resampling will soften the image, and the methods used in most browsers are 
fairly crude (but fast).
