1. ColorSync is an Apple trademark for implementation of the ICC 
standard, although they appear to be sharing it with Mozilla, so maybe 
that's not a problem.

2. The actual location of the files shouldn't matter, since the 
profiles will probably be handled internally.

3. The location is anything but standard. If ColorSync is ever 
implemented on other OSs, they'll probably put it in a different place 
entirely (probably following that dumb FHS standard :-) )
