You live in .nl ;) Other areas are different. There are other 
continents, too ;)

Sure :)

it doesn't. Some people just want to have few computers at home 
connected and they run multiple PPPoE sessions.

Remember, we are documenting a current reality here, not what we want to 
do in the future.

Yes ;)

In this case you need to delegate /64 for WAN dynamically. If host with 
PPPoE is in question, you don't have to do static. Most bullet-proof 
today for network behind the CPE is static.
