This could probably be better phrased.  NAT is an end-to-end demon,
not a palliative, while some would argue that SBCs are a necessary
evil (e.g. for implementing CALEA).  Furthermore, ICE is not really
middleware; it's and end-system algorithm for NAT traversal.  

I'm not even sure that NAT and firewall traversal deserve to be in
scope.  How about we scratch this one and replace it with:

  7. SIP/SIMPLE over IPv6 

?
