I guess I'm missing something; what in section 3 is this referring to? I can understand /64 or /126 (or maybe /124 if you were going to delegate reverse DNS?), but why /112 and "16 bits for node identifiers" on a point-to-point link?
It falls on a 16 bit boundry and is therefore easy to read. some numbering concessions within a vast space exist for the convenience of the poor humans not the machines. I can pick out the host side of the address in a /64 no problem but for some reason I have a trouble finding subnet boundaries on a series of /93s.
