Having the address mapping part separated from the tunneling part doesn't 
increase the number of alternatives, does it?

To reduce the number of alternatives, encapsulation, which is completely 
transparent in all cases (shared and non shared addresses) would be the natural 
choice, but if two solutions are found better for different use cases, double 
translation (à la dIVI or 4rd-T which are essentially the same) also makes 
sense.
