Have not worked on an ES/ES+ line card before beyond the 
lab, but we have the same restriction in the ME3600X/3800X 
world.

Layer 3 for EVC's must be instantiated on an SVI as you 
rightly point out. I agree, this is old school, and is not 
very tidy, but it is possible there are far more complicated 
matters for Cisco to consider besides aesthetics. 

Perhaps Waris can chime in :-).

Cheers,

Mark.
