About the choice of an acronym that differs from NAT:
- MAT (mapped address translation) does not suggest that no (non 
reversible) translation is applied. It also suggests that mapping and 
translation can be simultaneous, rather than having  distinct properties.
- SAM66 (stateless address mapping), which I like,  may be problematic 
because of all the new technical contents that goes with SAM.

==> What about, at least for the time being, NAM66 (network address 
mapping), or NAC66 (network address conversion).
