Thanks, We are aware of that draft.

Correct.  Like I said, we too, are using /64.  Regardless of the draft, 
many people still use something other than /64.

FWIW, we are using CAIRN's address plan adapted to fit our longer 6bone 
pTLA.

I thought that I would ask this question on the list to generate 
discussion based on what people have learned in practice, versus what is 
printed in a draft on a possible method of assigning bits in an address.

I find it hard to believe that there is so little variance in what 
people are doing in the case of POPs and end sites.

Thanks for the pointers all the same.
