sRGB may have a strict technical definition but different companies apply it differently. Bruce Fraser & Andrew Rodney in particular have pointed out that what Nikon, Fuji and Canon (to point out three big examples) call sRGB or Adobe RGB in their cameras isn't quite exactly a "pure" implementation of these colorspaces. All cameras or scanners are in fact going to produce device specific interpretations of color. The way to get around this is to go to raw or NEF captures capture with as wide of Colorspace as the device will produce where the camera is doing no (or in all probability very little) colorspace management.
The downside to this approach is that you have to do a lot more work. That works fine in some situations but in others, it doesn't. You also have to be working on an accurately calibrated and profiled monitor to actually see what the true colors of your captures. The Adobe Gamma utility or even the Apple Colorsync utility won't get you to an accurately calibrated and profiled image on your monitor ,but given the high degree of knowledge on this list I assume everyone already knows that.
