If you mean the metadata and the ICC profile, referring to them as
"extraneous junk" is foolish: they're important parts of a digital
capture image, if not essential parts. I like having my copyright and the
correct ICC profile incorporated into the file.
If that was not what you meant, what do you mean by "extraneous junk"?
The funny thing about meta data is that it is hidden. You actually have to
go looking for it to find it.
Incorporating things like copyright info that isn't going to be seen by the
casual downloader can be thought of as foolish as well.
My experience with save for web is that it gives a file roughly 25% or more
smaller, and has no effect on viewability of the image.
OTOH, capriciously wasting bandwidth for no good reason is foolish.
