Sorry, you're right.  I'm very focused on how we are doing CMS in
our drivers right now, and they use linear CMYK as the input
colorspace (makes profiling easier... :)

Anyways, my point is that you usually want to interpolate and anti-
alias in a linear colorspace for best results, but that compositing
scaling might look different than the on-screen version...
