no, that would be *really* ugly.  because then you'd expect the
NAT box to know how to intercept every application you'd want
to use, despite the fact that those applications are evolving
and the set of those apps is changing constantly. so you'd have
to upgrade your NAT every time you upgraded installed a new app.

What's the difference with the way it already is? The ALG component does
need to know about the app already.
