Yes Fred I would _expect_ my ISP to sell me a /64 but at what price? It

Is there any way the engineer can predict that or control it?
What the architecture has made exceedingly clear is that the ISP can't
expect to dole out /128 prefixes, and has no incentive to. It could state
that it wants to only do address autoconfiguration on its interfaces, and
it could watch its customers vote with their feet. ISPs aren't that stupid,
I don't think. They understand what Linksys has done with their market.
The fact that some European providers have been allocated a /20 shows they
have a plan to allocate /48's to millions of customers; ap lan at least
convincing enough to the RIR.
So certainly not a /128, and probably not a /64 :)
