A /64 is definitely recommended as the maximum prefix length for any purpose, even point-to-point links. 

I'm with you on finding this really disconcerting, but that paper lays out why you shouldn't go longer than /64 for your prefixes.

I'll complete reading the link, but it kinda...makes sense....I think my mind is still thinking IPv4, but the entire v6 range is *HUGE*....some food for thought :)

From what I was reading, it appears as if the link-nets needs to be /64...surely not ?
