Taken from the intro draft-tran-midcom-dhcpv6-option-01:

  "Entities using the Midcom Protocol need to know the
   presence of Midcom middleboxes, such as firewalls and network address
   translators, in order to enable communication across theses devices.
   A DHCPv6 option provides a means for these entities to determine the
   Midcom middleboxes IPv6 address or the domain name."

But that text is cut and paste from the IPv4 version of the draft.
Perhaps the v6 version can omit mention of translators? (If people use
it for that, so be it, but we're not then "suggesting" it...)
