I'm also supportive of this draft, I think it can be very useful if widely
adopted.

One issue that some of my colleagues identified is the following:
There are malicious ASNs out there who acquire huge amounts of IP6 space
(like multiple /32's) to use for scraping, attacks, etc – they could set
their prefix lengths to 128 and completely blow the storage of any database
that trusts them.
Similarly, a malicious ASN may falsely tag its prefixes as CGNAT so that it
avoids blocking or throttling.

Maybe the security considerations seconds can cover some of those cases.

Best,
