Hi,
Yes, I switched to working from the sRGB specification x,y values rather
than the pre-computed matrix values given in the sRGB ICC profile paper,
to bring it into line with the way all the other reference profiles
are created, and (hopefully) improve it's conformance to the spec.,
which I think is achieved.

Hmm. I'm thinking that this may have been accidental, or perhaps the
pre-computed values had been tweaked slightly.

This is a result of quantization the primary XYZ values into the ICC 15.16
fixed point format.
I will changed the code to minimize the error in the sum of the quantized
primary values, which should reduce the white point error at a cost of
increasing the primaries errors slightly.
The resulting sRGB profile is here <http://www.argyllcms.com/sRGB.icm>
