"But it doesn't work in IE8 either" does not sound like a strong argument.

Jpeg is one of the image formats supported on the web, so all of its subformats
should be supported. It's hard to explain to users that a few jpegs don't work
but most do. Firefox supports this format, and people complain that WebKit does
not support it.

I don't think there's a need for "substantial work", i.e. adding full cmyk
support to all of webkit (but if "many people" believe that printing the web
might be a good idea, then I might be wrong).

In any case, this less-than-100-lines patch should go in in my opinion.
