I agree with Ran's original comments.  These are reinforced in the candidate 
-08 text.

Are there IPv6 ISPs out there who would allocate an additional (say) /60 if the 
CER requested an additional prefix?  Would it not be simpler to state that the 
prefix in use in the homenet from any ISP should be contiguous, and sufficient 
in size for the homenet's requirement, as per 6177 (which recommends 
"significantly more than a single /64"?)
