[xep-support] XEP, SVG and CMYK color

[Timothy Morin]

Hello,

I'm evaluating XEP for use in a project which involves converting SVG images
into PDF format.

While testing XEP, I've noticed an odd behavior.  For our purposes, we need
to be able to specify CMYK colors when generating PDFs from SVG files.  My
understanding is that an "icc-color," if specified, is supposed to take
precedence with "red" or "#990000" then being treated as a fallback. I get
the expected output when fill, for example, is set to "red icc-color(#CMYK,
0%,0%,0%,10%)," but not when fill is set to "#990000 icc-color(#CMYK,
0%,0%,0%,10%)" in the SVG.  Does anyone have any idea why I'm seeing this
behavior?

I've inlined an example .fo file.

                              Regards,
                                      Tim
