Thus, it should be easy for you to point out where the policy says this.
And easier to point to a discussion about the intent.

have not, in fact, delegated authority over that /48 as you have claimed to
ARIN and that is, in fact, resource fraud in violation of ARIN policy. I'm
not sure why you think this is an absurd claim.

While the customer may be allowed to use their prefix where and how they
please, the policy says nothing about forcing the ISP to route everything
everywhere.
The ISP would not disallow usage in any way, they would simply not route
according to arbitrary whims which are against their semantic policy.

As an aside, handing out /56 per customer and semantic unit will most
likely solve any real world problems. And if the customer really needs more
than 256 semantic contexts, or more than 256 /64 per semantic context, the
LIR can probably document and prove the need for more than a /48...
