The reserved /29 is no more. So if you got a /35 under the old scheme, you 
can grow it to a /32 (as many folks are doing now) on application to the 
RIR. When you require more address space after the initial /32, you return 
to the registries. Pretty much as we do in IPv4-land...

BTW, 
ftp://ftp.cs.duke.edu/pub/narten/ietf/global-ipv6-assign-2002-06-26.txt 
describes the IPv6 address assignment and allocation policy of the three 
registries... So what's gone before is no more, afaik.
