Suggested minor addition to the following in the summary, just to help
further show that bridging isn't always an alternative to
routing and multiple subnets:

"Although a /64 can (in theory) address an almost unlimited number
        of devices, sites should be given sufficient address space to be
        able to lay out subnets as appropriate, and not be forced to use
        address conservation techniques such as using bridging. Whether
        or not bridging is an appropriate choice is an end site matter."

        *(In some cases, bridging is not an available alternative to
        routing or subnetting, as it requires a significant level of compatibility between the
        link layer technologies being bridged. For example, it is not
        possible to bridge between Ethernet and Bluetooth.)*
