[6bone] Network Address translation question

[Michael Sturtz]

I understand that the RFC 1918 address equivalent IPv6 addresses are
called "Site-local" addresses and are FEC0::/48.  I do not see any
provision in the IPV6 standards for the equivalent of NAT.  Is it safe
to assume that if you only have a FEC0::/48 address space you cannot
address other IPv6 hosts on the general internet?  With IPv4 you can use
NAT / PAT to translate a single valid IPv4 address into an entire
internal network space.  I don't see this as an option in IPv6 is this
correct?  Thanks,
Michael Sturtz
