No, waste is not an argument.  The main argument for both /127 and
/126 is to avoid having unused addresses on a link.  But /126 will still
leave one adress, which is why some prefers /127 instead. Although this
does mean that you have to ignore the router anycast address.

Well, that's one informational opinion.  There's also the recent
standards track opinion: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6164

The nice thing about standards is that there's so many of them :-)
