....Spotnames are currently only of use in some contexts particularly
postscript. We have a separating eps renderer that allows printers to
split up into different inks correctly. It is possible to do separations
in PDF with separation dictionaries and pages represented N times (once
for each ink), but we don't currently have any way to do that.

However, a first step along that road would be to know the individual
colours up front.

We currently have only RGB & CMYK colour spaces. There are many Pantone
colours and each has its own approximant in CMYK or RGB.
