People are going to want NAT66...and not providing it may slow down
IPv6 adoption.

Hm, if you turn off the NAT66 function, wouldn't the traffic pass
through unhindered, too?

Or do you propose to make IPv6 home gateways the same way IPv4 home
gateways work, where it's usually not even possible to turn it off?

I think the implication includes available 1918-like space to use behind 
the NAT which is similarly publicly non-routable; *this* is the part we
care about -- that those addresses are only accessible *to the edge router*.
