Yes, I see both of your points. The trouble is that author expectations are also violated if videos are treated as sRGB, as this is rarely right. Perhaps we'll need text in both the HTML and CSS specs recommending that all images and videos be correctly tagged, and that color correction is turned on, and noting that if you fly untagged, or allow 'browser default' behavior (which may change over time as well as between browsers) you are unlikely to find all your customers pleased by the result, even if it looks OK to you.
