Digital BW, The Print

>>I guess I don't understand what encumbering would be.

The preneutralized inks are finicky about media; to use other media  
you need to define your own neutral ramp and blend to paper white. To  
do that you need to use color mode. Since HPs B&W is based on the  
preneutralized ink concept, its not really opimized for these other  
situations. I'm not actually complaining about this, any methodology  
has it's tradeoffs, I'm just pointing out where some of them are. Like  
you, I'd like to see wider media capacities and one more gray... But  
that's backseat driving.
