The problem with CMYK is that it is very device-dependent, far more so than RGB (or indeed HSV). What looks good on the author's printer could appear very different on another one. The only real solution to this is to use a device-independent colour space (of which several exist); unfortunately, I suspect that colour management would be putting unreasonable demands on user agents. I feel that, in general, very accurate colour should not be required for ordinary text, etc. Photographic images may well benefit from this, but they can be supplied in an image format which can carry the relevant information (e.g. PNG).
