That said, I think Remi has made a good suggestion here. Calling it
Stateless Address Translation makes sense, I think.
I could accept either of the following as improvements to the existing
order:
+ Stateless IPv6-to-IPv6 Address Translation (SAT66)
+ IPv6 Network Prefix Translation (6NPT)
I prefer the latter term, but the former is fine too.
I'd prefer either of these over NAT66 on the grounds that I expect it
to be easier to teach people that this new and different thing they've
never heard of before still breaks some applications, than to try to
teach people that conventional NAT44 means dynamic per-host state,
NAT64 means dynamic per-host state, but NAT66 means no dynamic state.

"NAT" does not mean that it's stateful or stateless. It means it's
doing translation. Using a separate word for stateless IPv6-IPv6 NAT
will just add to the confusion at this point.
Another reason I prefer IPv6 Network Prefix Translation (6NPT). It
still says translation, but it explicitly constrains the translation
to network prefixes only.
