I have to disagree on that last point. I did extensive testing with
several other folks participating on the Picture A Week mailing list
last year ... Testing with several browsers on both Windows XP and
Mac OS X, color rendering of an sRGB image was much more consistent
with an embedded sRGB profile, regardless of whether the browsers
themselves honored profiles.
(On Mac OS X, both the Safari and Internet Explorer browsers honor
profiles. Safari in particular does a very high quality job of
rendering JPEG images accurately.)
Show me a colour space aware Windows Browser and I'll be a happy man.
Can't help you there, I don't use Windows and don't track Windows
software.
But, as I said, embedding a profile seems to help rendering
consistency in Win XP browsers regardless of whether the browser
honors profiles or not. I can't explain it, I only report what the
testing showed.
