I have to agree with Dan on this one, Look at the numbers (especially for small to mid-sized business and residential):
/56 = 256 /64's subnets /60 = 16 /64's subnets

At 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 per /64, that is a lot of address. Right now I cannot get IPv6 at home so I will take getting "screwed" with a /56 or /60 and be estatic about it.

One of the key things with IPv6 (IMHO) is to stop thinking about addresses, and instead just think about networks. Judging by Owen's earlier mail I may not have that quite right and the key might even be to think about hierarchies - in either case counting the number of individual addresses is something we just don't need to do any more.
