Yes.

Yes.  As the definition of PI is "this is for you, and for you alone".

(See the other long mail I've sent why this is not such a trivial
matter)

You have to document it in a way that you can show the documentation to
the RIPE IPRAs, but it does not have to be in the RIPE-DB (for IPv6).

Whether you assign a /64 or a /60 (think "customer with a firewall 
and a load balancer and a backend network for the database") is a matter 
of local taste.

If you run multiple customers in a shared network, you can of course
give every customer just a single IPv6 address (not going into technicalities
on cross-customer protection here).

This is very grey area.  Technically, it's "giving an address to a 3rd
party", but personally I'd see this is as "it's still the same machine
under *your* control".

But we already know that datacenter has all the range from "very obviously
*not* sub-allocation" to "very obviously this *is* sub-allocation", and
as such, distinction between "what is OK" and "what is not" is tricky at
best.

did you enable IPv6 on something today...?
