If you haven't already, please drop an email to [email protected]
asking for a tombstone for draft-mrw-behave-nat66 pointing to your
new draft.  I know a lot of existing references to the old draft and
it would be good if they followed to the new draft.

side-by-side diff,
http://tools.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url1=http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-mrw-behave
-nat66-02.txt&url2=http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-mrw-nat66-00.txt
or http://tinyurl.com/2fg6rj4

Nit: very bottom of Section 8 says "described below"; better would be a
forward
reference to the specific section number.


The new section 9 says:

   Although any 16-bit portion of an IPv6 IID could contain 0xFFFF, an
   IID of all-ones is a reserved anycast identifier that should not be
   used on the network [RFC2526].  

So, that's saying "a non-0xFFFF pattern will exist somewhere."

   If a NAT66 device discovers a packet
   with an IID of all-zeros while performing address mapping, that
...........^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Is "all-zeros" intended here, or "all-ones"?  Is all zeros a problem?

   packet MUST be dropped, and an ICMPv6 Parameter Problem error SHOULD
   be generated [RFC2463].


Nit: it might be helpful if section 8 and 9 were subsections below a general
'algorithm' section, something like:

  8.  IP Address Mapping Algorithms
  8.1.  Prefixes shorter than /48
  8.2.  Prefixes longer than /48


At end of first paragraph of Section 12 ("A Note on Port Mapping") it might
be useful to add a reference to RFC3022 which defines Network Address and
Port 
Translator (NAPT).
