OK, I'll put it here again:No, it doesn't. The License simply says "clearly indicate" , not how you must indicate it.
8. Identification: If you distribute Open Game Content YouSo, no. It is there in black and white. You will show what *is* OGC, and a

declaration of what *is not* OGC will not satisfy section 8. "[...] You must
clearly indicate which portions [...] are [OGC]." It doesn't get any clearer
than that. The license TELLS YOU what is clear.
If I clearly mark what _isn't_ OGC, and include a statement that anything not marked as not-OGC is, I've satisfied Section 8.
Blanket Statements are, without question, the _safest_ and _most clear_ way to indicate what parts of your work are Open Gaming Content. For the typical monster book, the following line would be ideal:
"Exempting only the designation of Product Identity below, the "society" section of each monster entry, and the contact information of the publisher, all text is Open Gaming Content."
If I say "between the two of us, one is named Doug and the other is Mike" and "You are named Mike", I have Clearly Indicated that I am named Doug.
