What's broken is that they believe the IANA and RIRs when they say:
The IANA may say so but not all the RIRs do:

You mean:
"6.10. Micro-allocation
ARIN will make micro-allocations to critical infrastructure providers
of the Internet, including public exchange points, core DNS service
providers (e.g. ICANN-sanctioned root, gTLD, and ccTLD operators) as
well as the RIRs and IANA. These allocations will be no longer than a
/24 using IPv4 or a /48 using IPv6."
So I guess there was _some_ progress the past 10 months. However, they
still also say:
"6.4.3. Minimum Allocation
RIRs will apply a minimum size for IPv6 allocations, to facilitate
prefix-based filtering.
The minimum allocation size for IPv6 address space is /32."
So the problem is still there. (Same text is also still present at IANA
and the other RIRs.)
That's inconsistent with the published policy.
No. See above.
When there is an inconsistency, you can't fix it by adding more data.
You need to remove/change something. The fact that the information
necessary to do route filtering is present in 5 locations and policies
are created in 4 places doesn't help.
