Sure, that would definitely be a function offered. Ie, compress one colour space into another, as opposed to doing a direct colour space conversion, which could lead to clipping or unused headroom. CMYK is a bit tricky, since it usually relies on OS registered colour profiles; I'd probably leave CMYK conversion to a printing module. Other colour spaces are not hardware or OS specific, and should all be easy to support.
