=>First off, we are not only talking about NAT44 here, but port
translation and non-shared address. Secondly, NAT44 on the CPE is not
doing what today NAT44 does. For example, override ID in ICMP with
port information.

that reminds me to update the proposed text a bit,

"States still should be maintained in other equipments, e.g. customer
premises equipment or host, in order to restrict L3 or L4 information
into the configured context except that a non-shared IPv4 address is
assigned to a standalone host."

=>I believe the above is clear for reader and designer. I don't see why
we resist on clarifying and helping reader better understanding.
