It would be absolutely awesome to be able to point the "NAT IS A SECURITY FEATURE!!!" crowd to an actual demonstration of why it isn't.
Accepting strict source routing from a public interface is certainly in the top 10 Worst Common Practices, is it not? (IE: I would be surprised if *any* current router actually let you do that.)
