If we change this to "address independent", close to 100% of NATs
produced will be non behave compliant. At this point applications will
have nothing they can rely on and we will be at the same point we are
now and the BEHAVE WG will have been reduce to an irrelevant waste of time.
what's the point of this exercise? to encourage predictable behavior
that applications cannot use? to give NAT vendors a seal of approval?
maybe it's just not possible to specify a NAT such that it's useful to
application writers and vendors will build it...at least, not without
significant functionality beyond just address translation and packet
filtering.
