Unfortunately most browsers (and non for the Windows platform that I'm aware of ) are not colour space aware, however the defacto standard for web images seems now to be sRGB. This means that images for display on the web ought to conform to the sRGB CS however it generally makes little difference if the colour space is embedded or not. Of course if no CS profile data is embedded then CS aware application have to be pre-set with the CS of the image. I generally assume that any image without an embedded CS is sRGB, however I'm sure there are a lot of AdobeRGB images floating about out there untagged these days. I have used labs that specify AdobeRGB and also some labs provide a custom colour space for their equipment, I always ask just to be sure.
