Lost me there. It seems to me the point of much of this (I admitt to ADD with regard to 
this thread) is to get to a point of wysiwyg. When that is in order, now it's up to you to 
make it pleasing. That's the way it's working here anyway.

I think you can (or get very close), and soft-proof's implementation needs a little more 
work. I think it's conceptually sound.
