from MAP's perspective it doesn't matter if it is a /64 on the WAN or a /56 
delegated prefix.
any prefix can have EA bits.

in DS-lite the tunnel concentrator learns the tunnel endpoint address when the 
NAT bindings are created.
so the CPE is free to pick whatever IPv6 address it has. this is different from 
Public 4over6 and LW46 where the
address has to be configured on both ends.
