Well, ARIN aren't running the Internet route tables. If they were, I'd
assume they'd force AS6453 to do the right thing and aggregate their
address space.

Maybe I'm not understanding this correctly. Are you saying that
customers who have a /56 would get dynamic ones i.e. a different one
each time they reconnect? If they've got a routed downstream topology,
with multiple routers and subnets (because of course, they've got 256
of them), I don't think customers will be very happy about having to
renumber top /56 bits if e.g. they have a DSL line sync drop out and
get a different /56.
Static assignments of /56 to customers make sense to me, and that's the
assumption I've made when suggesting the addressing scheme I proposed.
Once you go static with /56s, you may as well make it easy for both
yourself and the customer to move to a /48 that encompasses the
original /56 (or configure the whole /48 for them from the outset).
Regards,
Mark.
