I like this as well, I'm not convinced that any of mark's problems won't show up in v6 networks though, even if the mandate (and hardware/software fixes the mandate) is /64 only... people do dumb things, we can't really stop them.
I don't see how the proposed wording makes this more complicated, for MOST things people will just pick the default /64 and never look back (because their upstream will be doing SLAAC and they won't even really 'pick').
