Keith - If you have issues with the premise of the draft or the NAT WG - 
you should take this up with the ADs. This is not the forum to do that.
Our mailboxes are just getting cluttered with way too much of the crusade

You are welcome to send in input that can be valuable to the draft. Thanks.

regards,
