this phrase is not understood yet. do you mean using 4rd-IPv6-address
format for stateful translation service? please draw an example of A <--->
B communication as i did for clarification.

we need to make sure if the NAT64s make both src and dst addresses
checksum-neutral. i cannot imagine what the use case is. please specify!
