The current proposal is interesting precisely because it is a subset of the 
entire universe of NAT66: it is stateless, and it does not include port 
mapping. At some level, if you hold your nose long enough, it feels like some 
kind of tunnel.

I wish it could be an antidote against more complex forms of translation. 

For that, I wonder whether we should include some form of topology hiding in 
the solution, or at least topology obfuscation. I know that it can be done, 
e.g. using some form of encryption of the EID during translation, with the 
effect of obfuscating the subnet mapping. 

Of course, if we did include topology obfuscation, we would lose the simple 
"prefix mapping" property. So we would probably leave that as an option.
