[...Which is from RFC 3633]That's a pain. It basically makes it impossible for a single-NIC machine to connect to an ISP that is only responding to IA_PD. (Well, you can obviously set up a dummy NIC, which can be assigned a prefix, but that's a kludge).
I can see why you wouldn't want a whole /64 to be assigned to an ethernet interface that received the DHCPv6 Advertise, but it does feel reasonable to be able to *optionally* assign a /128 to the point-to-point link that received the DHCPv6 Advertise, if there is no other way to assign a global address to it.
