That's the aim.

I'd say so.  Assuming "everybody is always-on at home" (with "few"
subnets there), this will be the LARGE majority of subscribers - and
being able to increase that number by 256 sounds like "significant gain"
to me.

It would be quite useful to see the efficiency of large-block-holders'
network plans, to base judgment on the target HD ratio on the reasonably
achievable efficiency in real-world network plans.  Making the HD ratio
overly tight ("0.99") would mean "destroying potential internal 
aggregation", and that's a bad thing to do.
