they might be more plentiful than you think. I have no problem with starting out with a /32 but perhaps that /32 should be allocated from the "top end" of (otherwise unallocated) v6 space so that additional allocations could be aggregated with the initial one in a single prefix (for the purpose of filtering) the "hard" part is establishing the mechanism for doling them out.
