Regarding colourmanagement, Peter Linnel pointed allready out only RGB 
seems supported by SVG, as well as I read. Most DTP applications would be 
outruled without CMYK++ support.

DeviceColors and named colours are just mentioned to come in SVG 1.2.
But these are allowed only for vector elements.

For pixel images one is limited to jpg/png which is not sufficient for 
printing. Tiff would be on candidate to include as it is allreay a widely 
accepted print format.
