(Note that the European class A's are under ARIN, not RIPE.)

For IPv6, I'm counting the number of /32s (so a /20 is worth 4096 /32s):

I think I detect a difference in policy between ARIN and APNIC...

Yearly totals:

Total IPv6 allocations (of at least a /32):

+--------+-------+
| allocs | ipv6  |
+--------+-------+
|   1068 | 50809 |
+--------+-------+

That's out of about 536 million /32s total in 2000::/3 so we're now  
at about 0.0094% utilization of the global IPv6 unicast space (65%  
for IPv4). Note also that 2006 was much lower than 2005 and even  
lower than 2004 in amount of IPv6 space allocated and even lower than  
2003 in the number of blocks allocated.
