I don't see how the transition from IPv4 to IPv6 requires NAT in IPv6.

I am not advocating "v6 to v6 NATs", as confirmed by some of my earlier
messages that argue against.

But, if an IPv6-only client has to be able to reach an IPv4-only
server, I keep saying that some NATs will have to deal BOTH with IPv6
(client side) and IPv4 (server side).

As a matter of fact, your recent I-D on MNAT-PT does propose ways of
doing it.

With this clarification, I believe we are in agreement.
