Missed support for device-cmyk - SVG Color 1.2

Asked by Aurium

At the "Uncalibrated device color" session ( http://www.w3.org/TR/2009/WD-SVGColor12-20091001/#device ) we can see the device-cmyk specification. That is very useful thing for generic CMYK works. And also very easy to apply:

  <circle fill="#CD853F device-cmyk(0.11, 0.48, 0.83, 0.00)"/>

As we have the ICC support, may be easy to add the uncalibrated CMYK support.

Hi,

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but any help on this would be very appreciated.
I am using svg elements in my xsl:fo template and have used US Web Coated SWOP color profile to be applied to the svg element say rect. After generating the PDF when I try and edit the properties of the element it still shows that the Color Space used is DeviceRGB instead of DeviceCMYK. What mistake am I doing here?

Here is the sample code:
<fo:instream-foreign-object>

  <svg:svg width="558.001pt" height="11pt"
  xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" >
  <color-profile name="acmecmyk" xmlns:fo="http://printers.example.com/acmecorp/model1234"/>
  <svg:rect x="0" y="-20"
   width="558.001" height="35" rx="15.422" ry="15.422" style="fill:#efebe7 icc-color(acmecmyk, 0.05, 0.05, 0.07, 0.00)"/>
  </svg:svg>
  </fo:instream-foreign-object>

Any suggestion or help would be really appreciated.

Thank you
