Point taken.  Rather than reiterate my point I will refer to the following
excerpt from RFC 2993:

"
   -  NATs enable casual use of private addresses.  These uncoordinated
      addresses are subject to collisions when companies using these
      addresses merge or want to directly interconnect using VPNs.
"

This is becoming a major drawback to NAT.

Folks should read and *refer* to the NAT WG documents before commenting. An 
awful lot of work was put into the content and wording of these documents.
