Correct. That's what a CGN is, and that is what other equipment of this sort would be.

as:

                           +-----+   +-----+
        (a private space)-| NAT |---| NAT |-(same private space)
                           +-----+   +-----+

the only problem is that we need another private address
space used only between element NATs within the double NAT.

Can IETF allocate such address?

That's what this document is doing: Allocating address space to go between 2 NATs.

Maybe I don't understand your question?
