I'm not sure this is a good idea. There are still some protocols around that use ports < 1024 and maintaining the source port after translation in this range is important.

    I have submitted a new draft. The objective is to solve a problem that

    I expect your comments. Thanks a lot!

Draft-meng-behave-napgt appears to describe something that is very similar to the long-standing "DMZ host" configuration available on almost all residential-class NAT devices.  I don't think we could standardize that behavior, but perhaps that is possible.

Draft-meng-behave-napgt also describes an update to the port assignment behavior described in http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5382#section-7.1 (TCP) and http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4787#section-4.2.1 (UDP).  If I understand Section 4 of draft-meng-behave-napgt properly, it is saying that NATs should not assign ports below 1024 to dynamic connections.  This might be something worth considering for draft-ietf-behave-requirements-update?
