Should be, and will be in future SpecGL draft.

I don't understand this.  Do you mean that it must be included as an 
integral part of SpecGL?  In 12.1, it just says "include or reference an 
ICS".  SpecGL does that (see right after the SpecGL TOC), although it is 
not labelled as ICS (and we agree that it ought to be).

That is a different checkpoint (12.2), requiring that it be filled out by 
implementers.  I was focusing on whether we satisfied 12.1.
