An application working in CMYK or some other color space may want to do
the conversions differently than your web browser.  Your web broser may
quite honestly not give a hoot as long as it can display 24bit RGB.
After all web sites don't have a standard for color space that I am
aware of.

Well other than photo editors/viewers, print systems, the gimp, and
such, what really cares about color accuracy?
