Bwa-ha-ha-ha... You are absofu*****lutely wrong here.
I have /64 routed to me. That means, I can split it to 4294967296 subnets of size /96, each having 4294967296 addresses - as much as the whole IPv4.
And that's exactly what I do :-)
Once I'd get IPv6 from another ISP, I'd simply get another /64 subnet routed here and assign alternative addresses to my hardware. Anyway, they use fe80::1 for their default route to outer world.

IPv6 isn't IPX: it doesn't have fixed number of bits for a network and host (those were 32 and 48, IIRC) - instead, it uses CIDR and allows routing of single /128 hosts as well as subnets of any size.
