I do not believe - nor have I seen document demonstrating that - you can
practicably achieve the two classic functional goals of query/response
and unsolicited notification without implementing CH in the face of a
firewall/NAT.

Another way of putting it is that if firewalls are to be dealt with (and
in this day and age we should presume this), this functionality has been
prematurely ruled out of scope and must be considered in order to that
need ANYWAY.
