Very true...  But if we are assuming that the ISP isn't the end customer who
may receive an allocation, then who really is the "consumer"?

One has to wonder how much time was spent drunk underneath chairs and/or
mattresses to come up with a rule like that!

No, nobody ever reads that tag.  It says "not to be removed except by the

Which with at least one severly drunk friend of mine, has meant that if you
remove it, you have to eat it :)

Does that mean if we rip them off that we may be prosecuted?

With the exception of auto-configuration, I have yet to see any

narrower limits on what can be configured I'd be facinated to know 
about them.


64 bit prefixes are the mattress tags of IPv6 interfaces.
