There's a good chance that in the long run multi-subnet home networks will become the norm.
With all due respect, I can't see it. Why would a home user need multiple subnets? Are they really likely to have CPE capable of routing between subnets at 21st Century LAN speeds? Isn't that needlessly complicating the home environment? Additionally, when it comes to address size, Andy Davidson et al make a good point - you request what you expect to assign, and due to the massive availability of the IPv6 address space, you generally get it assigned within a few days. It just seems *wasteful* to me. /32 is a lot of space, if most customers are only going to have a few machines on one subnet, why not just give them a /64 and have an easy way to just click on a button on your customer portal or similar to assign a /48 and get it routed to them.
