In the current document, /64 prefix allocation is not mandatory.
Our opinion as author was that the non-authenticated mode
was meant to be used in a try-out environment only and
connecting only one node was enough.
In our opinion, any more than that would require authentication.
But this is only one opinion, I would like to get more feedback on this point:

Would ISP be willing to deploy IPv6 tunnel service in this non-authenticated mode
on production networks?
