i oppose to this request, too.

there is imho no need for a pTLA (someone said private tla,
perhabs the better description ;)) or ndsoftware, they aren't
any kind of an isp nor they have a lot of ipv6 customers.

for playing around i think, the /32 are enough (rir space is
also "only" /32, and lot of isp can live quite good from it...).

if any ix (btw, most ix are v6 only, they use a seperate switch)
needs ip addresses, go to the rir and request a /48 for it like
the others.

also, it looks like that ndsoftware wants to collect a lot of
bgp peers to be "kewl". they dont think about routing instability
or bgp flapping - and the effects to the whole ipv6 network
(both 6bone and "rir").

have a nice day,

bye,
