One more thing, and maybe this should be a separate bug, but it’s somewhat
related...

The SVG specification says that images are sRGB by default. It also has some
facilities for specifying other color spaces, etc., but for the most part the
SVG files I’ve seen have all been sRGB.

Anyway, at the very least, Wikipedia/Mediawiki should embed an sRGB profile in
PNG renders/thumbnails of typical SVG files. I believe that PNG files can
include an “sRGB chunk” which tells image consumers that they are in sRGB
space, and therefore avoids the need for a complete embedded profile. I’d guess
the default rendering intent would be Relative Colorimetric, but it might be
Perceptual – someone should check the SVG spec to be sure.

Anyway, it’d be nice to do enact that change (adding an sRGB chunk to PNG
renders of SVG images), because it would pretty much fix/standardize the color
of SVG images used in wikimedia projects across the board, overnight.
