Just to be clear (I am not sure if we misunderstand each other) 
a /64 is currently assigned for IXP-1, the next /64 for IXP-2 and so 
forth. all this is from a reserved /32 which is 2001:07FA::/32 for all IXPs. 
I suddenly got the feeling my previous comment wasnt clear and you 
understood each IXP gets a /32 reserved for them.  Sorry for any confusion.

Seems a good idea.ie. give them the option.
