I agree with Bill.  You can poopoo NAT all you want, but it's a fact
of most networks and will continue to remain so until you can make a
compelling case to move away from it.

Does that mean all IPv6 firewalls should support NAT?

In the sense that they "MUST be able to provide email filtering
features": yes.

That requirement should be removed.

Remember, we're aiming for a base set of requirements applying to
all IPv6 firewalls.

The document has more than just base requirements.

The document is flawed as-is.
