Permit me to rephrase for Lea...

These are operational/implementation details that are generally left up to
ARIN staff in other policies.  However, the policy explicitly stated that
the amount of space issued here would be directly tied to the amount of
space that would be issued by an applicable LIR if the end site were
going through the LIR process instead of ARIN.  That was not an
assumption... It was spelled out in the policy.  There are already
existing guidelines for what LIRs can issue under what circumstances, but,
by the nature of IPv6, they are in rapid flux, so, it seemed to make
sense to tie this policy to those policies by reference, thus preventing
any sort of dichotomy of riches between the LIR and ARIN processes.

Understood...  I hope I have sufficiently answered you question.  If not,
please let me know.

Thanks,
