What about a more radical proposal, ie. eliminating the LIR/End User
distinction altogether?
Since so many LIRs are, ipso facto, end-users (as Jordi points out above)
the distinction becomes more and more historical anyway.
Obviously, this would not be workable for v4 space, but I really see no 
reason not to have just one type of allocation in ipv6.

This would also completely eliminate the need for PIv6.
