Microallocations are PI in disguise - end users get address space directly from a RIR. If that's not PI, then what else is?
Actually, the people (who argue to be) in need of v6 microallocations do not care what the baby is called. And there's no valid presumption they are not LIRs already. But AFAIR there's still a 200-customer problem which an end site (RIR-wise) cannot solve. Nonetheless they want to multihome, and they want to _really_ multihome, being that anycast instances are usually scattered all over the globe. This implies that there must be a way to get a (however big) routable block that's unlikely to be filtered - well, the proposal has it all. And frankly, I do not care whether it's a /32, /35, /48 or /64, as long as it's accepted and (if </32) well-known. Swamp anyone? ;-) Local multihoming with a PA /48 from one of the transits, and informing the other transits of it, has not been a problem yet (at least, not for us).
