It's possible.  Could it get ugly?  Yes.  Do we just want to shut our eyes
and say "let's not go there."... well... maybe.  I just don't think the
solution is to say, "this can never happen... we must limit all handheld
devices to sitting behind a NAT gateway."

God forbid!  We might have a network on our hands!
