I also second that motion. We, I, need something in IPv6 that can perform the same function as RFC 1918. Allow me to configure the internal network of each platform (of a given model, let's say) the same way exactly. Preferably without having to request anything from any registry. And let me decide what parameters have to be assembled and perhaps transmitted globally, by a separate function, through an appropriate gateway/firewall, to the Internet (or to the telephone network).
Doesn't seem logical to conclude that a NAT would be involved in any of this. But even if it is, what's wrong with a "basic NAT," i.e. one that provides a simple one to one mapping for a subset of the internal addresses? The truth is, IP is used ubiquitously now, in situations where once upon a time people used either small scale serial networks, like RS-485, or other type of industrial control bus, or even non-networked digital interface like MIL-STD-1397. Now IP is taking over those roles too. So we need a straightforward way to doing this, with minimal administrative overhead.
