So far we haven't included an option to skip the inclusion of the sRGB profile. That's because XSL-FO defines all RGB colors to be in the sRGB color space. If the color profile is not added, the colors are actually wrong. If you really just use black, it's obviously unnecessary. But it's not unproblematic to add this option since we have to take care that we don't accidentally break support for PDF/A. PDF/A requires calibrated colors. I'll see what I can do.
