The J64 system your J32 system is talking to could have different byte
order and the ic stuff is not very usefull. The ic family is intended
for use withing a system. Communication between systems should use 3!:1
and 3!:2.

We will consider the use of the word byte in the 3!:4 and 3!:5 docs

you suggest (no promise).
I think the 5 and _5 extension is unnecessary as the programmer can
easily handle this in a cover function (use IF64 to use 3 or 2) if
required.
Yes 5 and _5 is easily coded as (IF64{2 3)&ic.
Another issue. 3 and _3 for 3!:4 under J32 cause domain error. I think
if they
are implemented, it allows writing cleaner code for J32/J64
communication, eg.
in socket client/server applications.
