Even better Scott. A careful reading of the recommendation supports my
statement above that for IPv6, "a /48 being the default delegation size"
does not discriminate "_home_ vs. _organization_"... its for any viable
request.  Now the requests must meet certain criteria before a delegation
will be processed and that seems to disuade profligrate delegations from
being made. A quick review of the online material seems to have a reasonable
"barrier" to entry.
