No. There's no definition of what they map to.

That's why we need USERS to be able to scale the ranges of brightness and contrast.

My environment changes during the day. I want to be the one in control of my screen, not some random website.

That's not really an option, though. You'd have to separate text and media from the website, split it apart, and configure it separately, as most websites just have everything without any color management.

If these shitty websites with full contrast would at least set a colorspace for their images, so I could take the color profile of a cheap 2004 LCD as default for unmanaged media and text, I'd at least avoid the painful situation.
