Yes, and I am pointing out that there is a significant set of networks, mine being an example, which are not one 802.1d network.
I come back to the substance of my remark. I think there are sets of users that can very reasonably use various prefix lengths - one size does not fit all, even in a SOHO CPE. Building such an assumption into base specifications that are expected to guide implementations from multiple vendors seems like a very bad idea. If Apple wants to do that in a very low end single-subnet CPE, that's Apple's choice, but that doesn't make that the canonical product.
