Many of us are looking at things from today's perspective. Maybe each room of my house will have its own subnet with a low power access point and I can find which room something is in by the IP address it has.
Today, there are several vendors who believe the wireless part of their cpe should be a different subnet than the ethernet. There are multiple cases of stacked routers in homes, which requires multiple DHCPv6-PD delegations, and the current philosophy is very wasteful (as DHCPv6 itself doesn't support variable sized requests, chained requesting, and other options which would make it efficient for a requesting router 3 routers away from the initial DHCPv6 server).
There are also devices (even consumer ones) that support seperate ssids for guests and other users with different security policy for each as well as layer-3 seperation. in my direct experience with the d-link it doesn't (yet) route v6 to the guest network.
