Good!!

draft-iesg-ipv6-addressing-recommendations-00.txt focusses pretty much
only on the argument for making /48 the normal allocation to end sites.

This concern is being raised by others, and the registry communities
have recently begun discussing whether the /35 boundary should be
changed. See the "Next Steps" slide in the presentation you cited

(http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/archive/ripe-39/presentations/ipv6develop/sld017.html),
