This came up on the last RIPE meeting, and people seem to think that 
this is well inside the bounds for "acceptable use" for PI space.

(It gets problematic when such a network outgrows their PI network, due
to it being smaller than a LIR allocation, and then needs to announce
more routes than necessary - but a /48 IPv6 PI should be sufficient for
this kind of setup "for ever".  And indeed, using upstream space might
work for a while, but if you eventually get to renumber 10.000 DNS
entries that are not all hosted with *you*, then you really want to
be able to take your address space with you...)
