Just to further some of the comments I made yesterday.  I understand the
we don¹t want a /64 to show up, but this may occur for reasons other then
the primary intention of the ISP.  Many things occur in a network - IP
depletion/low avail blocks, errors, mis-configuration etc.  No matter why
it occurs, ignoring this case is likely not a good idea.

I agree with earlier comments that this can be considered as a failure
mode.  It still needs to be considered for good engineering on how CPEs
and homenet gear will behave.
