Yes, it breaks end-to-end addressability, but not really any worse than the NAT66 standard that everyone will soon be deploying everywhere at once, because honestly, who cares that NAT66 lets you manually provision the DNS with pre-translated AAAA records?

Or use Stun and DDNS to do so dynamically?
how do we deploy DNS records in IPv4?


Yes, and with NAPT44, we use NAT-PMP or UPnP-IGD to find exterior port numbers and use those with DDNS to register SRV records for DNS-SD. It's a trivial extension to those existing protocols to make them support IPv6 for the same purpose with NAPT66. This is what I predict we will end up doing in the long run. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that somewhere in one of these buildings at Apple Campus, someone here has already done it.

NAT-PMP, one might be tempted to observe, has only one place in one of the packet formats where an IP address appears. It's really not hard to make it carry an IPv6 address instead of an IPv4 one.
