So what do you need IPv6 address space for apart from your own stuff?

Seems to me that from an address allocation point of view, you are and 
endsite.

The trouble is that in IPv4 there is at least _some_ backpressure on PI 
because people need to qualify for a /24. In IPv6, we don't count 
addresses anymore, so all else being equal, MORE people would be able 
to get PI space. If that were to happen, we'd be in a lot of trouble.
