AS Leo has answered...  it's his thread, all spun off from his proposal
to shift IPv6 addresses 32 bits to the right (hence >>32 :-). Not alot has
had to do with 2005-1 except occasionally.

I'm sure Owen will answer these, too, but I'll take a cut at it, too.
And remember that 2005-1 did not acheive consensus as proposed
and so it will have to mutate in reponse to the feedback received.

It says whatever the applicant would be able to receive directly whatever
they would qualify for if receiving space from an LIR.  For a single site
organization, that would likely be a /48.  For a multi-site applicant,
perhaps they could argue the current policy entitles them to a /48 per
site...  certainly alot of the posts in the IPv6>>32 thread have asserted
these "rights" and "requirements".

These were considered operational/implementation details that shouldn't
be spelled out in the policy itself...  again the assumption was that
whatever criteria an LIR should use would be applied.		/Lea
