  "Since there is significant detriment caused by modifying transport
   layer headers and very little, if any, benefit to the use of port
   mapping in IPv6, NPTv6 Translators that comply with this
   specification MUST NOT perform port mapping."

> Look, you don't have to design a PCP proxy server in this draft.  You just need to point out that PCP will need one.  Either that or you need to point out that site multi-homing with NPTv6 isn't compatible with PCP.  Pick one, but please don't just ignore the issue.

I'm sure that the community will be well informed by your draft when you file it.
