I'm not sure we're talking about the same thing then. I'm not talking about
a GUI tool for organizing profiles, I'm interested in a service that allows
applications that want to use/generate images for a particular device to
locate a profile that defines the device color space. So by definition,
profiles are associated with a device.

Such things need to be decided if there is to be a consensus though, and
the decision will have a big influence on how widely accepted such a
scheme is.
