This is a very valid point.

That RIPE document states clearly that "a /64 will need to be
provided for each PDP context for cellular phones".

This a big issue I was not even aware of.  If someone reads that text 
then one can no longer claim that RIPE recommends non-/64s to end users 
of cellular networks.  On the contrary, RIPE recommends /64s to end 
users of cellular networks.

I wonder where was this burried up to now that we I not see it.

Or maybe it is only me who did not see it, sorry then.
