For example on a spot red channel if the channel is 100% opaque red it will print out solid black. 100% opaque red on a layer will print out as some % of gray. I'm not suggesting that this be implemented anytime soon - but it would be nice to have better channel mixing abilities once GIMP is using GEGL for composition...
