Correctly.

To illustrate the shortage of a "hook into the CMS" architecture: What
about one CMS setting the profile int the print spool PDF and an other
one is asked for the driver calibration settings? Usability would be non
reliable and inconsistent. Thats not a nice goal.

Agreed. Exactly that route is followed with the XCPD project.
