While the NAT specified by this

not limited to just NAT444 or even an IPv4-only *network*. The
recommendations in this doc will work for an IPv4 NAT associated with
DSLite just as easily as a more traditional IPv4 transport. This is
an important distinction, IMO.
Right, I understand now. It's the logical NAT function that is
IPv4-only, not the global use case. I'll add some text to make this
clear, and I'll specifically point out the DS-Lite example.
How about "Common Requirements for IPv4 Carrier Grade NATs
(CGNs)"?
[WEG] This helps, but only in conjunction with additional
clarification about the application - that is, just because the NAT
is IPv4-only doesn't mean that the network must also be IPv4-only.
Understood.
