Right now, the global IPv6 policy has no provisions at all for PI 
assignments.  This could be changed, of course, if we ("the RIPE policy
making community") agree that this is a desireable goal.

Let me ask you a question, though.  What good is non-routeable PI (except
for the IXP peering mesh)?  So what good is it to have a policy that 
hands out PI without caring for routing?

(In the IPv4 world, as you might know, there has a task force been formed
to work on the PI policy - this conflict being one of the reasons behind)
