> RIPE should clarify its document.

What about Section 4.2.4:

4.2.4. Considerations for Cellular Operators

There is a clear exception to the rule described above when assigning
prefixes in a cellular network. In this case, a /64 will need to
be provided for each PDP context for cellular phones, whereas for
LTE modems/routers, i.e. in the case of broadband by means of
cellular access, it will still be necessary to choose a /48 or /56
in accordance with the aforementioned considerations.

Though I don't know why there is an exception for mobile phones.
