Given that all currently available operating systems fully support IPv6,
and none of them support the modifications necessary to "help the NAT
gateway", I can't see how this would be a step forward.

But this is far out of scope for RIPE APWG anyway - if there is consensus
in the IETF that *this* is the way forward, then it's time for us to 
amend policies for this.  Right now, it's a personal draft and one 
personal opionion.
