Sort of - except it is only for IPv6 "clients" to connect to named IPv4 "servers". NAT-PT allowed for the opposite direction, IPv4 "clients" connecting to IPv6 "servers" - NAT64 does not.
Which is a serious mistake in my opinion. Corporate world will not or can not shift out of IPv4 for many years. They will use firewalls to handle conversions (4 inside, 6 outside). The legacy software that runs within corporations always astounds me, but it is what it is. I honestly doubt that a single vendor out there cares one lick about the IETF, and they will provide whatever their customers demand; or lose the customer. -Jack
