Its a really tricky question when blending from multiple colour spaces.. I guess convert all to display as rgb while screen ( using normal colour profile ) and then convert all to cmyk on export? I'm no expert.
Both Bulia and JonCruz would have a much better idea of how we want to talk to cairo and show it to our users.
Any idea guys?

Hi,
Carl Worth has just told me they've got people who could work on CMYK support in Cairo, but they still need someone to tell them what exactly end-user applications want Cairo to do.
It seems to me that we want two things:
- optional output to CMYK PDF/PS/EPS
- separation preview
What Carl now says is:
"(1) would probably be a good place to start. But I still have questions about how inkscape would like this to work. Particularly, with regard to what colorspace(s) inkscape would like to use to provide color values to cairo. What colorspace(s) would be used for blending. What to do with source colors from multiple spaces, etc."
Do we want to use this chance to wet our toes in prepress waters? ;-)
