Yes, I think it is a good idea.

There is just one point I would like to clarify.

Do you mean that sub-allocations made to downstream ISPs are
considered as utilized, i.e, if a /40(256*/48) is allocated to a
downstream ISP, then 256*/48 is considered utilized?

I am aware that this is the case in IPv4 policy but wasn't sure if the
same policy applies to IPv6. I assumed it doesn't, but not too
confident about my interpretation, so I would like to hear the
comments from the others.

In my previous mail, I suggested to add the following content, but we
can change this if I was misunderstanding the policy.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
 - If a sub-allocation is made to a down stream ISP, but not
   assignments are registered in the database, it will not considered
   utilized
   e.g.) /40 sub-allocation is made to a downstream ISP. 2*/48 is
         assigned from this block. In this case, 2*/48 is considered
         as utilized, not /40(256*/48).
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In anycase, whichever the interpretation is, I think it is worth
noting it in the document since it is quite confusing.
