   I have no problem adding the necessary constants and support in CUPS =
   1.5. Feel free to file a bug:

       http://www.cups.org/str.php

Done.  It's STR #3419 (http://www.cups.org/str.php?L3419)

   Not yet, but given limited resources and smaller margins it is only a =
   matter of time before ESC/P2 gets dropped.

That's purely hypothetical (or at least I don't know of any such
plan!).  And in any event there will certainly be ESC/P2 devices
around for quite some time.

(Not to mention that I expect that any attempt to force professionals
into sRGB will be met with a revolt!)
