There ist also a loose and a strict filter recommendation by Gert Doering [1],

RIPEs IPv6 PI space 2001:678::/29 for example, although RIPE currently also
assignes /47 or /46 from this range. Also there should be some deaggregation
allowed. When RIPE allocates a /32 to a LIR and LIR has to deaggregate it for
some reason, because he cannot get a second /32, he should be able to use (eg.)
4 bits for deaggreation. I don't want to see a /48 where RIPE allocates only /32
prefixes, but I would accept prefixes up to a /36.

I was thinking about such filters still for v4. Does anyone know if
there are any /8's which have no /24 prefixes assigned? I thought about
filtering out all deaggregated /24's from such /8's. (I care more about
memory of my routers than on a traffic profile of a small company on
another continent).

Another thing:

This is a normal /25 assigned as PI with route record /25. Are they
assigned in any given /8 prefix? If yes, you could easily allow /25's
from given /8.
