Well, the RIRs will actually hand out address-space explicitly saying

and can only justify the equivalence of a /26 you will get a /26.
There is a difference between acknowledging that they can't control how
the operator community is going to filter, and telling the operator
community that it's ok to filter out anything smaller than n while at
the same tme giving out blocks that are smaller than n.
Whichever way you slice it this is WRONG. Now obviously this isn't the
forum to keep rehashing this (those who can do something about this
either know about the problem now or they are unwilling to fix it
regardless of the input they receive) but I'm afraid as long as people
are going to defend this or redefine the semantics so that it's ok
after all, I'll have to respond and disagree.
