No problem as the actual implementation at the consumer end is probably
similar. There will be some device between the provider network and the
consumer network, be that dial or always-on. The device needs either a
/48 so it can provide subnet based routing, or a /64 so it can provide a
bridged subnet capability.

I assume you mean RFC3177... but the point is that it is aligned. Except
in the private network context, there is never a reason to believe that
only a single device is connected, even a cell phone might be a
router/bridge.
