I agree. But this would still leave some corner cases to worry about,
such as having a multihomed scenario with one side having a NAT and
the other not. Of course, you can move to NAT-T even on that case,
but then you won't be able to let the peer know your two addresses;
NAT-T only remembers the latest address. This may have an impact
if we want the peer to attempt failover based on a communication
problem with the current address.
