We have been held to the 80% guideline before.  I remember having
to submit to ARIN (two allocations back, I think) host tables
(really, reverse DNS files) for customer blocks showing 80% usage.
That is, if we assigned a /24 to a customer they wanted to see 200
or so individual host names.  That may be because they felt we fell
under the "web host customer" guidelines which specifically references
back to a table.

Specifically, if you assign a block to your customer the policy says:

     Customers must follow ARIN guidelines for ISPs

On the (relatively few) ARIN apps I've done for more space from an
ISP they seem to want the 80% to carry down into customer usage as
well.  If others are having a different experience that's very
interesting.
