Just to report on what Safari does: we colormatch images that are
tagged with an explicit colorspace, but we treat CSS colors and
colors in untagged images as being in the device color space
(instead of treating as sRGB). This seems to give a good balance
between performance for the common case and color-correctness for
cases where precise color is desired.
I wouldn't say precise color. Consistently bad maybe. This behavior
is very irritating on high-gamut monitors. Images on the web are
designed for sRGB-like monitors, and they look horrible (pink and
oversaturated in my case) on monitors that have significantly
different color space.
(this is system-wide problem in OS X, e.g. rendering of Dock icons
is also bad and inconsistent, so perhaps it needs to be fixed
outside Safari...)
Feel free to file bug reports against Safari or Mac OS X at http://bugreport.apple.com/
