I think you're missing my point.  The PCP protocol is intended for controlling 
firewalls even in the absence of port mapping.  The issue with PCP has nothing 
to do with port mapping.  It has to do with pinhole control and REC-48 of RFC 
6092, which PCP is intended to meet.

Once again, I am NOT talking about port mapping.
I am NOT talking about port mapping.
I am NOT talking about port mapping.
I am NOT talking about port mapping.
I am NOT talking about port mapping.
I am NOT talking about port mapping.

I am talking about the implications for firewalls and PCP-capable hosts 
deployed behind site multi-homing NPTv6 systems as described in section 2.4 of 
your draft.
