The need for this isn't for 3GPP networks. 3GPP networks always give /64 
per PDP context (it's in the specs, and since RAs and A=1 is used for the 
UE to learn the on-link prefix to form addresses from, it can't be 
anything else than a /64 according to the SLAAC specifications).

The problem this draft is trying to alleviate is generally enterprise Wifi 
networks where some administrators want to use DHCPv6 to allocate 
addresses.
