In fact, we have a shorter and easier to read document giving details 
of minimum allocation lengths. It was produced at the request of the 
routing community and can be found at:

   <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/smallest-alloc-sizes.html>

We update it when we receive a new block from the IANA.
Ok, that's good, but it doesn't fix the problem that the list of 
documents above _seems_ authoritative and says it's ok to filter at 
/32. And this isn't just theory: I'm sitting behind an ISP that filters 
out the /48 for the F root server.

(You don't mention micro allocations by the way, but unless I'm 
mistaken you guys do give those out sometimes.)
