Subject: [IBIS] Are power pins allowed in EBD paths?

Hello All,
I have an .EBD which contains a pin in its [Pin List] whose signal name is
GND_VSS. When that pin is used within a path description, IBISCHK3 reports
an
error:
ERROR - Pin '85' was referenced on Electrical Paths but is implicitly
connected to a power or a gnd plane
I don't recall seeing anything in the spec saying that supply pins are not
allowed in path descriptions. In this particular case, the pin is being
used
to pull down the resistor preceding it in the path:
[Pin List] signal_name

82 SDA
83 SCL
85 GND_VSS
