I hope developers take this in consideration for future releases. If it's worth something I could help with beta-testing in a screen-printing environment. I truly believe this is a niche inkscape should explore, although in our industry (screen-printing) we've had CorelDraw and illustrator for ages these programs are rather expensive and sometimes they could be overwhelming.
Yes, we are taking things into consideration.
Just to let you know, I did the first part of my career in the multimedia industry, and included consulting for a company that did a lot of printing of different kinds. Color callibration was one thing that I was often involved with.
Spot-color is one thing that I know and will make sure gets in. Another thing is how complex color separations are, and that there is no such thing as a single "CMYK" colorspace.
So... you can take it that you print fellows have an advogate in the develpment team, and won't be overlooked. Of course, as Bryce mentioned, the feature requests are one thing we can use to both gauge end user desire and to ensure we don't overlook aspects as we implement things.
