I don't think IPv6 address usage is useless metric. LIR can show their 
registry, how much IPv6 address delegated to their customers. Users can 
show their allocation currently in place. They can show traffic information 
also. IPv6 address usage, for me, the address block is used for Internet 
access, IPv6 access usage. Not just allocated and put in a nice document, 
but used.

For claiming back can be a quite low threshold: if somebody can show, that 
he/she is using IPv6 (traffic information in any form) on their planned 
network, at least partially, IPv6 address shouldn't claimed back. I would 
not go for ISO 9001 like certification: (conformant, partially conformant, 
conditionally conformant, not conformant), but I think the ideas of 
auditing IPv6 usage might be useful...
