Yes I know about these issues. I think we will see support in all major
browsers within five years. Meantime I'm thinking about making separate
renders, one sRGB and one with wider gamut (when applicable), and
autopick the wider gamut ones for browsers supporting icc. Someone has
to be the pioneer :-). Imagemagick can be used to scripting
autoconversion to sRGB, like this:
convert photo.jpg -profile sRGB.icc photo_sRGB.jpg
