You are obviously right with this one.

I used the term "SOHO" in the context of a groups of users with
simular needs that are currently getting rather large assignments of
address space for which it is questionable that they ever need that
many subnets.

The recommendation would probably read something more along the lines like:

If there is any chance that the user needs more than one subnet,
assignment of a "SomethingSmallerThan/48" is recommended. The user is
allowed to get a /48 if explicitly requested and a
"SomethingSmallerThan/48" is not enough as stated by the user.
