[ppml] "Recommended Practices" procedure

I agree that the draft should discuss "Recommended Practices".  I feel
this discussion should be driven by the service providers and their down
stream commercial customers that actually have IPv4 multi-homing.

At the very least the document should discuss the possibilities that range
from only accept /32 or shorter PA prefixes, and no PI prefixes from Peers
to allow everyone to de-aggregate down to the the /64, what the long term
consequence of each policy is.

The good news about having an email address that is twice as long is that
it increases traffic on the Internet.

Also, my customers don't want to get PI space (even under the new V6 PI policy), so this means I need to give them a /48 and set up multihoming.  However, as all policy and practices sit right now, everyone filters on a /32.

I ask that you please insert the solution to filter at /48 thus allowing "upstream providers" to provide multihoming to their customers.  This solution is needed to support providers creating V6 networks and this solution can easily be added into Marc's "IP V6 Routing Policy Guidelines" document.
