    Dear Stefan and others,

    There is no information on this label in the ICE-GB handbook either, but I
    suspect the <l> in "concentrations" indicates a line-break ("con" in line x and
    "centrations" in line x+1). You indicated that the example is from the written
    subsection; in the text the representation may have been "con- centrations".
    Maybe the ICE compilers just replaced the hyphen by <l> (just a guess, though;
    you could check for <l>s in ICE spoken -- if you find the tag there, my guess
    was wrong).

    Hope this helps!
    Best... Ute
