It's perfectly feasible to create such a space - you would just assume perfect
colorants and pure subtractive color mixing with some sort of dot gain curve.
If you sent it directly to press, you wouldn't expect terribly good color
reproduction - it would just be a familiar space with a less restricted gamut,
and the ability to specify the black ink reproduction (i.e. black only text etc.),
and it would need color management before sending to a real press if you wanted
something that looked good.
There are many other ways of achieving a similar technical result - i.e.
an RGB space with an added "text" or "black generation" channel, etc. etc.,
but the main obstacle is not technical, it's standardization and application
& workflow support.
