The thing is that in print the CMYK will result in a fixed well defined
object: a physical print on paper. That is then the reference.
The complete chain of getting the information into print is well defined.
Compare that to the world of digital monitor viewing.
None is well defined, every monitor and platform has its own unknown
settings. How would you translate those into a printed document?
So my point was that it might be more convenient to first create the
publication for print, then let individual pdf browsers do their trick
in their own environment rendering the CMYK into RGB or whatever...
Unless it is fun to do both of course...
