So there will be a pool of addresses that the RIR's can allocate out of for EIDs?  If that's the case, what is the additional value to an ISP who would conceivably have to pay the RIR for another block of V6 addresses specifically for use as EIDs, when most likely they are already paying for a block that can be used for either purpose?
