Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color] predefined spaces

It would be good to add a predefined CMYK space, but we don't have to 
do that in this level. 

On the one hand, CMYK (and other printer) profiles are much larger 
than RGB ones, so having a fallback to a predefined CMYK colorspace 
avoids delays while a large profile loads.

On the other hand, CMYK profiles are more likely to be used in print 
or mixed print/web workflows which may well use offline rendering to 
PDF for the print part and can stand to wait for a profile to load. 
And SWOP is US-centric, so adding just that one could be problematic.

I don't oppose adding a CMYK predefined profile in this level, but 
won't object of we don't, either. it depends more on what the likely 
users and implementors, such as publishers, want.
