I'm less worried about those that lie outright than those that just 
don't care either by not bothering to specify a policy at all (unless it 
becomes mandatory somehow), or have more granularity than can be clearly 
specified in a single policy.

For example, their policy might be to allocate at the /64 level, but 
unless they also prohibit customers from obtaining more than one /64...
