You are confusing the "price list" with the "menu". Yes, a simple note at  
the bottom of that table would fix this: Current minimum IPv6 allocation  
is /36.  That schedule doesn't say you can get a /40, only what you will  
pay if you *HAVE* a /40.

(Did ARIN ever hand out /40's? If not, why is in the table?)
