Indeed, this is an interesting issue, and each ISP will find his own
way to handle this.

Currently, we tend to use the "<prefix>::1" on our side of all links,
and the customer can use whatever he likes - which is usually ::2.

Autoconfiguration for routers works, but is not overly helpful, as the
other router on the network needs to know the router's IP to route 
packets in its direction... - unless you run OSPFv3 (or ISIS), in
which case IPv6 autoconfig (or "just use link-locals") would actually 
work fine.
