CSS does not have CMYK support yet, so it can be designed in a vacuum. Jpegs
that use cmyk on the other are being used on the web right now, Firefox
supports them (using the exact same conversion that this patch adds), and users
complain that they don't work in chrome. In my eyes, this patch makes the
situation strictly better for these users. I guess most people won't care about
color-correct conversions (cf. http://crbug.com/17354 )

As far as I can see, webkit does not support cmyk bitmaps, so fixing this the
Right Way requires substantial work. Until someone feels like doing this work,
this patch fixes the problem for probably at least 95% of our users.

Finally, the web is not intended to be printed, wide-gamut or not ;-)
