Craig, you might want to try out the color branches for which I've just
started to vote to merge it into trunk. The color branch adds Named
Color (separation, spot color) support and CIE Lab support.

However, ICC and device CMYK colors should already work in FOP Trunk/1.0.
Could you maybe elaborate on your problems there?

Hmm. I seem to have missed the cmyk() function in fop, and less
excusably the rgb-icc() function in XSL-FO proper. Maybe it was CMYK and
ICC tagged images I was having issues with?

I'll look into it again, it's been ages since I was looking at that, and
I was on fop 0.95 when investigating that stuff so it may have changed
since then anyway.
