I'm still hoping that the FAA will not buy into this idea. So far they seem to be very reluctant, probably because they know that domestic US is very different from almost any other other aviation environment. Most countries have very few, or zero, GA aircraft in service. Many smaller US airports and large metro areas are saturated with bug-smashers...an understanding of how that environment works is important before you operate in it.
Will we have to honor ICAO MCL's? Probably, but only when they are working on a foreign flag flight...they will only be operating out of the largest Class B airports. I don't see us granting US conversion licenses based on a foreign MCL.
