Please give your opinion as to having the factory include the pickup routing as part of specs in either the 'body', or 'special features' section of the specs sheet.

No, There is no need for that. It's routed enough to get the pickups that come with it in, that's all you need to know from the spec sheet.

My position is that, for example, an HSH routing in a 50's guitar is inappropriate for that period instrument. The buyer should know how much wood is being removed from the blank.

As a guess I would say that the majority of guitar buyers really don't care about pickup routing.

Likely not, but there's enough sophistication out there, you yourself included, such that someone like yourself might, even though you appear not to.
