so, is double nat really worse than single nat?  is it formally
different?  except in the case of overlapping spaces, of course.

draft-donley-nat444-impacts-04.txt seems to back off reports of
application issues.  anyone care to swing the clue by four as to
where multiple layers of nat are formally worse than one layer?
