It's called DS-Lite and the IETF is working towards getting it added
to the IPv6 CPE Router profile.   Unfortunately it requires a CPE
that supports IPv6 or is upgradable to support IPv6 and most existing
CPE routers don't fall into either of those categories.

This is primarly about getting existing equipment to work well with
CGNs without breaking everything else and address conservation.

Adding a address range as non-public to existing equipment is a lot
easier than adding IPv6 so that you can use DS-Lite.  Much CPE
equipment doesn't have the flash capacity to do the later.  The
former is trival provide the company that supplied the fireware is
still in business.
