Nothing is perfect, however it is the standard equation that you will see sited in every text on computer graphics. There is a whole realm of calibrated color standards that I'm not going to touch. However, I think that you will find the majority of people who are doing the design work for HTML are much more familiar with print colorspaces than the typical person. So biasing the standard to these people is more approprate than a Windows developer.
