If the ISP wants to give /48s out in 6rd, that's a /16 for each ISP.
I am opposed to giving out IPv6 /16s to ISPs for 6rd. I think that
is really really bad stewardship of the address space.

/48 across the board for native IPv6 is fine. That's not the
topic of this discussion. The topic of this discussion is the
upper bound for how much IPv6 space we would give to an ISP
to enable 6rd. Giving /20s or /16s strikes me as a particularly
bad idea.
