True, but we have found ways of gauging utilization of IPv4 addresses without too much effort. Their are some fairly low-touch requirements that could be applied here for IPv6 addresses as well. Such as; entry's in WHOIS, network diagrams/plans, subnetting plans, an announcement in the BGP table, etc.
All those are easy to trivial to fake. That being said, adding them is not a bad thing as long as valid requests are not held up too much.
It's very possible that we are too late to make an appreciable difference to standard allocations, agreed. Hopefully this does solve itself but it may be worth considering such a requirement WRT not only standard allocations but also post-depletion transfers (i.e. a change to section 5.3 would effect transfers under section 5.5).
Not a bad idea. I think I like it :)
