The new separations palette in Illustrator CS4 is a strong move in the right direction for designers and print production, but having the ability to add a Multi-Ink to your swatches like you can in InDesign would be even better. As a printing company, we often do double hits of spot inks and CMYK mixes under spot inks for special effects. These are very easy to do using Mixed Inks in InDesign, but in Illustrator we have to duplicate objects and set them to overprint each other.
Also, an Ink Manager similar to InDesign would be great too.
