What I would suggest is that we set into policy that the RIR, in cases like this, allocates a single best-fit routable block of IPv4 space. So, if the request is for a /12 and the biggest block the RIR has left is a /14, you get a /14.
I can see the rationale, and I also think that it makes sense to do it that way, operationally. I'm not sure whether this is something the APWG can/should decide - it's borderland between "policy" and "procedure". We do policy, the NCC does procedure...
