It is a solution to a different problem in my understanding, because it permits 
to use SHIM6 in multi homed sites that have PA prefixes in IPv6, which NAT66 
doesn't.

It certainly does mean that.
Be sure I will try to do better.

To a good extent, I agree.
But when it is claimed that NAT66, be it stateless or stateful, solves the 
multihoming problem with PAs and independent CPEs, I do object because, as I 
try to explain, this is technically wrong.

I also tell people that, despite some people stating that this problem is 
unsolvable, it is in fact solvable.
Making this statement without a pointer to a solution would rightly be 
criticizable.
