I re-read this, and confused myself; hence, I probably confused someone else. 
Let me try again.

Within an addressing realm as considered in a GSE architecture, an ILNP 
architecture, or a NAT66 architecture, every observer of an address uses the 
same prefix for that address. When you cross a DMZ, which changes the prefix of 
either the source or the destination address, you have changed realms.
