I see the 2 proposals as quite a bit different.

The first suggestion of SWIP business users, and not residential users I 
do not see as best.  I would venture that for business, a numeric majority 
of these customers have only a single IPv4 address.  Since these mostly 
small businesses are really no different network wise than residences, why 
should an ISP have to waste resources registering SWIP, just because they 
happened to think of the future and provided an assignment of v6 space to 
their customers?  Under v4 no SWIP unless they reach 8 IPv4's.

The second suggestion is more reasonable, which is to only require SWIP if 
that v6 space appears alone in the GRT.  Setting the standard at "/55 or 
more" effectively means that those with assignments smaller than can be 
advertised in the GRT do not have to SWIP.  "/48 or more" would do the 
same thing, but allow the customers a larger v6 block. Maybe the operative 
phrase to the proposal could be something like "/48 or more, unless the 
assignment does not appear in the Global Routing Table".  This would do 
exactly what is suggested.
