The other point is that one of the main arguments in that RFC is "if a customer changes ISPs, they will always get the same size prefix (a /48)", which is just not working if customers can very liberally get more than a /48 to account for "another-level-down end sites". So we're back to the address space haggling days, just argueing about the number of /48s instead the number of single IPs. [...]
A /48 isn't the same as an v4-IP. Using a /48, one has 65536 different /64-IPs which is really enough for most applications. Less people will request more than one /48 this way and it is and should be the job of the LIR to filter these who want as many IPs as possible just for fun.
