Thanks Leo, very interesting.

We noted one knockon effect of RIPE policy.   I don't know the full 
details, but essentially for a tunnel broker service we wanted to offer 
a /48 to end sites out of an existing /32, but were unable to do so
because the 'paperwork' to be sent on to RIPE-NCC for each /48 was needed 
in advance for the ISP owning the /32 to allocate a (say) /40 to the 
broker service, and that added a notable hurdle.   So we ended up using
a /48 for the broker and allocating /56 and /64 blocks.   Is this the
way it's meant to be, or should the ISP owning the /32 only need to 
report usage when asking for more space itself?
