This may be a question for quark folks, but is there a good reason why all the Adobe RIPs I've tried ignore a setcustcrgb Pantone call (from quark composite RGB mode) but interpret correctly setcustc Pantone call (from quark composite CMYK mode)The Pantone name info and color component quartet (or triad) is the same in both cases, just the syntax is different (setcustcrgb Vs. setcustc) 

You can confirm this by defining a Pantone named spot color to 100k, then output from quark 4.1x or 5x in both composite RGB and composite cmyk mode. cmyk gives the real pantone color (instead of 100k) RGB gives 100k. 

Is quark just doing something that is not allowed? or is Adobe breaking things here?
