I think it's useful to be able to describe not just IPv6-to-IPv6 NAT,
but any kind of NAT between IPvx and IPvy.  Since there's already some
established use for NAT66 and some other examples of that pattern, I
suggest we use the pattern xyNAT for NATs between x and y.

(I further suggest that we _not_ author any specific proposals with
names of the form xyNAT.)
