NAT-PT really needs to be wiped off the face of the earth. It provides

applications than the NATted IPv4 does today.
i tend to agree, but in rfc-index.txt i could not find the change of
state to "Historic". what happend to very similar (and much more evil
IMHO) transition technology, SIIT?
If you look at draft-ietf-v6ops-natpt-to-historic-00.txt (the
draft that obsoletes NAT-PT), it is quite critical of SIIT
(RFC 2765), but does not obsolete it.
[I attempted to obsolete SIIT before it was written (RFC 1671
section B) but that didn't work :-) . There are parts of
RFC 1671 that are wrong, but not that part.]
