In IPv6 a /64 is roughly equivalent to a /32 in IPv4. As in, it's the smallest possible assignment that will allow an end-user host to function under normal circumstances.
No, you could be assigned a /128 and have it function for a single host. However, let's not start doing that as it's pretty brain-dead and the reality is that hardly anyone has a single host any more. Heather has the corollaries correct.
SWIP or rwhois for a /64 seems excessive to me, FWIW.
I'm not sure I disagree, but, I certainly don't feel strongly enough about it to submit a policy proposal. I will say that you are far more likely to get this changed by submitting a policy proposal than you are by complaining to NANOG about it. Owen
