Thats why Oyranos is a CMS. At has early APIs, which try to take many of 
the decissions off from the developers shoulders. One goal is to have 
APIs, which allow to load a image file and display it through a choosen 
toolkit. That comes without the need to think about embedded ICC profiles, 
settings or display compensation.
