If a routeable prefix was given to every human, using a predicted

(The actual calculation is 11*10^9/2^48 since there are 48
bits in an IPv6 routing prefix. Or
11,000,000,000 / 281,474,976,710,656 = 0.000039 )
I have heard on some local (SF bay area) technology news reports that
the Commission on Online Child Protection is looking at dividing the
IPv6 address space into regions that can be classified according to
their "safety" for child access.
Depending on how this allocation is done (if it's done), couldn't this
mean we will still need NAT?
