[Openicc] incomplete sRGB texture in OpenGL

[Kai-Uwe Behrmann]

The OpenGL EXT_texture_sRGB specification [1] is based on the sRGB 
specification [2]. Especially it reuses the gamma part of sRGB. 
Without touching the techical side of EXT_texture_sRGB, it's naming causes 
lots of irritation to developers. They think spontaneously OpenGL provides 
full colour management support as defined in sRGB through the 
EXT_texture_sRGB [3]. But that is plain wrong. EXT_texture_sRGB is purely 
about gamma correction.

So did someone already blame the OpenGL spec authors, that they use
the sRGB term without providing sRGB. I would like to subscribe or start a 
bug report or something else. OpenGL behaves in regard to sRGB like 
selling bread without previously baking or adding salt and water.

kind regards
