More importantly, how many have not requested IPv6 space because they
misunderstood the text to mean that they would not qualify? The proposal
text states that "Some JPNIC members have pointed out that having a fixed
number of planned assignments in this criteria makes it feel like an
obligation that must be met."

I don't know the numbers but it would be interesting to know whether there
is considerable pent-up demand that would be released with a wording tweak.
Input from JPNIC staff on this point would be helpful.
