FYI, draft-narten-ipv6-3177bis-48boundary-02.txt was submitted just prior to the ID cutoff, and the authors believe it is ready for publication as an RFC. We are in discussion with the ADs about having the document shepherded through the IESG as an informational document. Note that this document would formally replace RFC3177.
There have already been a lot of comments I agree with, so I'll just mention one higher-level issue that hasn't been mentioned yet (AFAICS):
This document obsoletes 3177, but does not mention those aspects of 3177 which are not addressed by this document. Silently leaving them out is bound to raise questions later on, so this document should make an explicit statement one way or the other. Specifically, at least the discussion on /128 is missing.
Btw, the document title should probably say assignment instead of allocation.
