Come now... deep down inside you know this isn't a ploy to get rid of IPv4/IPv6... Microsoft has been brought in at the behest of High Command to develop a simplified (read "so simple, even a Lieutenant can do it!" ) replacement for the sneaker-net bridge between SIPR and NIPR. And in true ROT13 fashion, I'll bet NetBIOS is lurking in there somewhere... as the next "secure protocol with 'true' enterprise scalability".
