+1.
I will go so far as to predict that even with IPv6in place, there will be something like "network 10" - private address spaces, and hence something like NAT. Its just too convenient to have addresses that cannot be - will not be - routed.
unique local addresses, I think that is.
Please note: I am no denigrating IPv6 or saying that one _should_ use NAT. Nor am I saying that NAT should be forced on organizations to further (asymptotically) delay the exhaustion of the IPv4 address space. I *am* saying that slagging NAT is not a good argument in favour of IPv6.
