Re: [csswg-drafts] [css-color] Separation / DeviceN color support

> Also, I still have to specify the profile (or have it default to sRGB), which makes no sense in this context: If the device has the named ink, it will be used; if it doesn't, the fallback (which defines its own color space) will be used. Either way the ICC profile, defined here as "profilename", is unused.

The browser doesn't have any idea what the string means; it doesn't know that it's an ink name, and doesn't communicate it to the printer in any fashion that would allow it to know that directly.  It just looks at the named profile and sees if it contains that named color in it, then returns that color.

@svgeesus, isn't this "extra ink colors" thing meant to be addressed by color profiles that just have those inks represented as some of the channels?
