Sorry, I don't see why /56 is qualitatively different to a /60.

Because more is more, and it makes it less likely that people will start 
to invent silly solutions to problems that do not really exist. With a 
/56, I can't really imagine this being not enough for 99.9% of households 
in 10 years, whereas I CAN imagine a household that needs more than 16 
subnetworks, plus the PD model described in an earlier email makes a /56 
more suited for chaining.

OK, I'm convinced :-)

Thanks, K.
