When opening a saved out .eps from Illustrator CS in BBEdit here’s what it says;
1 dict begin /Metadata {ai_metadata_stream_123} def
currentdict end /BDC AI11_PDFMark5

So it says that the csa is indeed embedded.
I couldn’t find any particular options for embed CSA in Illustrator.

So, Neil, the way you see it, Illustrator does not offer an embed ICC profile option BUT it nevertheless extract the relevant part of assigned ICC profile to the document, say US WebCoated SWOP v2, to make it into a PostScript CSA?
