nat prevention does not solve the nat traversal problem, obviously. 

we should give people the possibility to 
(a) allow the responder to use the ip address contained in the ike message
AND
(b) allow the responder to use ip address information in the header 
to derive some decisions. 

detecting only that you are behind a nat is insufficient to address all
scenarios people are looking at.
