Well, I believe that I read that it works if it is nothing but address
translation (one public address is changed into one private), but that
is not what I have seen the term NAT being used about. (The way most
people seem to use the term 'NAT' is in the meaning of what in the
Linux world is called 'ip masquerading' - one public IP address in
front of more than one private ones.)

Maybe that is why.
