Oh, yuk. We didn't do it that way for a reason. If you use an ICC
profile, it has to have a valid profile connection space - such as CIE
LA - not 'device CMYK'.

ignoring the dubious profile, that's also incorrect syntax.

see the BNF - the ICC color needs toe preceeded by a fallback sRGB color
specification, for use by user agents that do not support, or cannot
locate, the specified ICC profile.

RenderX guys, to achieve what you seem to want (device CMYK) please see
