Where do you find that in 2663?
In any case I think the notions of "internal" and
"external" are not well-defined in a network which
mixes regions of pure IPv6, regions of pure IPv4
and dual-stack regions. Also, NAT terminology tends to
be based on the distinction between private ambiguous
and public global addresses, which makes no sense
for IPv6.

Exactly. I don't think this can be reduced to two acronyms.
