We actually just got a notice/supplement to the .65 (ATC Bible) about the A388.  We are to include the word "super" with the call sign of the AC, and we shall not use visual separation when one AC is an A388.  I might start seeing these beasts soon as we get a lot of SE Asia traffic in my area (LAX/SFO to Japan/Korea/China etc etc).
