Touché.
The Gnome wiki has a few bits of a spec to do that:

I think we should go forward and make a real proposal around this
specification/idea and have it approved/implemented by the various
Desktop and blessed by Xorg.
I see some known names on the above spec.

There are still issues about what can be used to calibrate the screen
under Linux. Maybe people here know more, I haven't really dug into the
solution. (I'm talking about Linux supported hardware)
