These have been kicking around CSS3 for years now - have they been implemented in any browser? Can you give any examples of their use in the wild if they have?

Hm, I hope not: both Safari (if coupled with a non-Apple monitor) and Mozilla stumble badly over colour profiles as it is.
Also the assumption that the profile is sRGB if you don’t state anything means what exactly for images with no profile? Right now Firefox will assume there IS a colour profile if you have an empty sRGB header (as Gimp adds to images by default… as Gimp’s way of saying “there is no profile”), and what about the default set by all other image editors?
The fact that Firefox shows the same images wildly different per OS (using the exact same hardware and monitor!) doesn’t give me warm fuzzies at the thought of a CSS implementation.
That said, my prediction is Safari will be the first to implement these, if anyone does. Apple’s always targetting graphics people, who are the ones who care about colour profiles and know what they want on a screen.
I wonder if they have been dropped. I can’t see any mention of them in this document dated last month:
Yes, actually I’m pretty sure they have been dropped a while a go
