Yes, I think it can be very useful for LISP.

What I was missing from the text was:
- justification for the size of the prefix
- allocation mechanism (AFAICT unaggregated /48 per end-site was intended)
- description on how to use this prefix
- short-term routing strategy / impact on routing table
- long-term routing strategy / impact on routing table
- migration path between them

I think that allocating a prefix without describing how it is going to be used 
is a bad idea for something as important as LISP. I'm not sure if that should 
be documented in one, two or more documents...

Of course! :-)
