Okay, let's write this in other words: sRGB is based on ITU-R BT.709 primaries which are for example standartised for HDTV and should be reasonably close to most computer monitors, too. And if you don't adjust your monitor for your lighting conditions you can't expect any colourmanagement to work. My point is/was, if you tag your graphics as sRGB you are as right as you can get without doing real colourmanagement (i.e. translating from your screen into a specific coloursystem).

Jens P.S.: I CC'ed this back to the list.
