I almost agree completely

Great article. The only thing that I would add is that color management includes a component that simply CANNOT be duplicated by RGB - specialized inks.

With other color systems, you can specify metallic inks - i.e. - inks with different reflective properties than normal inks. You can use other types of inks as well.

CMYK color systems are better able to handle this, because they are based on the properties of ink mixing.

With RGB, there really isn't any way to specify a metallic ink.
