DHCPv6-PD is already standardized in 3GPP several years ago, it just 
hasn't made it widely into equipment out there yet.

That's why current "best way" to do this is to share the /64 between the 
PDP context and the LAN. This of course is quite limiting, but it wouldn't 
surprise me if we'll see differentiation here between "mobile Internet" 
and regular "handset Internet" subscriptions unfortunately.

I fully support giving all devices whatever they request, stop 
differentiating between different kinds of devices, and just charge where 
the costs are, ie on packets moved.
