Forgot to mention, some people are advocating /48 prefixes be handed out
to everyone.  That's 80 bits for the local portion of the address. 
There are enough /48s to give well over 4000 of them to every person on
earth and this is with about 3/4 of the IPv6 addresses not yet being
allocated for any purpose.  So, with IPv6, sharing a single address,
through NAT, is a thing of the past.
