And that someone is the IETF because the IETF is the someone who created
the architecture in the first place. It would not be out of place for
some of the indivduals who were at the center of creating this
architecture to produce an informational RFC with guidance to RIRs.

Since all the RIRs have relatively open policymaking processes, it is
relatively easy for people drenched in IPv4 thinking to water down the
IPv6 addressing architecture.

If someone out there can point me to an RFC reference for the IPv6
address architecture, I will pass it on.
