muduckace,
A carrier can decide to add RVSM notes to an MEL but do not need to
that is not true. Check the RVSM requirements on the Eurocontrol website and you will find out that operators have to establish a reference to RVSM equipment and their availability in their MEL.
The operators I worked for, as a contractor you may see more than one in a few years, have all this reference included, as I mentioned earlier.
And this is a wise decision as it reduces our search and read time for particular items.
There was even one operator where this reference was incorporated in the OM-B with the preambel that the MEL is part of the OM-B and thus references for RVSM, PRNAV etc can be found there.

you are very much on the right track, even with the unbelieveable high ECON setting we have to use, at 68,000 kgs the 734 does not like a much higher level with two engines on the initial cruise section...
