<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>New</i> to <i>Rejected</i></li></ul><p>You have misread what the page is stating. The table is primarily to indicate the enormity of the IPv6 space.</p>
<p>Networks with a prefix longer than /64 are in use by ISPs for routing, we aren't going to ignore them in the docs just because they go against RFC recommendations.</p>
<p>The last sentence you quoted about VPN tunnels, DMZ, and so on is saying that if you get allocated a larger block like a /48 or /56, the first /64 is typically for the LAN, then other /64 networks are used for the other purposes. It is not saying to divide up a /64.</p>
