I see this a lot recently: You are mixing up RfC1918 and NAT.

If I have globally unique addresses I can NAT them as well
as 10/8. One has nothing to do with the other. 

Having to NAT RfC1918 addresses to reach the internet, does not imply
that I have to have RfC1918 to be able to do NAT.

but having 1918, site-loco, whatever, and wanting to reach the
internet REQUIRES nat.  we'll love it in ipv6; can't let things
be too simple, eh?
