PS & PDF DeviceCMYK have been subverted though, due to the expectations
of countless applications writers and users over many years. You can't
sell a RIP that doesn't map DeviceCMYK to a "nice" printing space,
and also maps DeviceRGB to an sRGB like space, etc. PS even has the
subversion built in, with the UseCIEColor flag. So to really run
profiling charts, some way of specifying "Really Truly Device Space"
needs to be used.
