Err....

| Recommendation
|
| It is suggested that prefix filters allow for prudent subdivision of
| an IPv6 allocation. The operator community will ultimately decide
| what degree of subdivision is supportable, but the majority of ISPs
| accept prefixes up to a length of /48 within PA space.

That does not sound to me like a recommendation for /48, more like 
status quo. Prudent subdivision is /36 for me (especially in light of 
2011-04), and I'm accepting that deaggregation.

| Advertisement of more specific prefixes should not be used unless
| absolutely necessary and, where sensible, a covering aggregate should
| also be advertised. Further, LIRs should use BGP methods such as
| NO_EXPORT [RFC-1997] and NOPEER [RFC-3765] or provider-specific
| communities, as described in RIPE-399 to limit the propagation of
| more specific prefixes in the routing table.

What makes YOU want to ignore this way more specific recommendation in 
the very same document?
