I would say that this qualifies them to get 1M regular, no-frills, LIR 
addresses from APNIC.  I see zero need for any kind of local addresses 
(which was what Brian was asking, I think).

Nothing prevents you from *not* routing those addresses on the 
Internet?  Unless of course it's a problem in the global-v6 policy, which 
should then be reviewed.
