Starting with the more specific principle, moving functionality from

however, when that functionality requires having knowledge that is
only possessed by the network (which is what hosts need to do address
selection), moving that functionality all the way to hosts is probably
the Wrong Thing. especially when you realize that a lot of the value
added by IPv6 is the ability to have large numbers of relatively
stupid hosts (like sensors).
(you might make an argument for moving the functionality to the edge
of the network, but not all the way to hosts, and that argument might
be convincing)
fine... we can move the functionality to the NAT... close to the edge
but not all the way to the hosts.
happy now?
