Yes. Two, actually.

RFC 1597 Address Allocation for Private Internets. March 1994.
(Status: INFORMATIONAL)
RFC 1631 The IP Network Address Translator (NAT). May 1994.
(Status: INFORMATIONAL)

That's exactly why we published something different for IPv6:

RFC 4864 Local Network Protection for IPv6. May 2007.
(Status: INFORMATIONAL)

and why, as has been mentioned, we are publishing
draft-ietf-v6ops-cpe-simple-security.

I think there's a good chance that there will be NAT66 in
the market, but to minimise the damage, it needs to be
like draft-mrw-behave-nat66.
