Sorry for the week's delay - I meant delegating a /64 using DHCPv6 PD,
I had assumed the link net would be based on provider preference - /64
would obviously make the most sense for the vast majority of
scenarios.

In my experience, I would have though well over 99% of residential
users just require one subnet, if they require additional subnets
they'll ask for them, and if it's standardised, a /56 could easily be
quickly assigned and added to either the DHCPv6 PD or static routed if
required. That would usually be a service the customer would pay extra
for. I'm purely looking at residential use here, not SOHO nor SME.
