Well, I dont find anywhere else in the world where sep or speed ends at 5DME! As noted, the FAA standard is to threshold. Losing min sep to threshold is an incident for a controller in the US.
With coded procedures, such as RNP and GBAS, the CAT speed is always for an entire leg, from wherever the FAF is coded in, sets the minima based on FAS +momentary descent as to not cross the MDA and to make the missed approach. So a CAT C approach is max 140 kts from FAF to threshold, that is both ICAO and FAA std.
The A380's are crossing threshold around 120kts.
