One suggestion I would make came out of a private discussion on the
politics of the discussion. "Network Address Translation" is a pretty
good description of the behavior of IPv4 NATs and their attendant
issues detailed in RFC 4864. This is in fact a "Network Prefix
Translation" draft; changing the name of the functionality might help
have a more illuminating and less heated discussion.
I like this proposal.
With it, a NAT which is not a NAPT has finally got a name: it is a NPT.
Except that now we have to fight with NAPT, NPT, and NAT-PT in the
industry - which are all very different things, with very similar names.

IMHO, this should help clarify the discussion.
NPT66 is a useful concept.

RD
