Hmm ... /48 shouldn't be the lower bound for organization internal
site subnetting. It should be /64.

If every separate building needs several subnets and room to expand,
then they should be given 256 /64s (aka /56). Or if it can be shown
that some building really needs more, then perhaps a bigger block
can be justified. It would still be hard to convince me that an
organization would need sixtyfivethousand subnets in every building.

Now, if the organization has more than 256 buildings, THEN it might
be reasonable to give the organization a bigger block than /48.
(Of course, there might be organizations that have very special
 needs that have nothing to do with office buildings, and I'm not
 commenting on those at all here.)

I may be wrong,
