Bug Description
Some preliminary support was added for device CMYK and some separation preview. This needs to be backed out before 0.48 goes out. One first problem is that device CMYK is not the type of CMYK that the average end user should be dealing with. What they actually need is ICC CMYK tagged to some standard/common profile (such as SWOP).
The other pressing factor is that device CMYK is from a proposed SVG 1.2 extension. Being 'proposed' is not as much of a problem, as the editors have confirmed the conformance with CSS3 and low likelyhood of retraction or significant changes. However that it is a SVG 1.2 feature and not a SVG 1.1 one is a strong blocker at the moment.
