I was thinking more general: not only a nat_flag, but a set of flags 
-maybe other flags will be required in the future. But there are some 
logical issues:
    - you have flag set X in branch array and a flag set Y in the 
request - when the branch is built in TM, the per-branch flag set should 
be X|Y, right?
    - once a branch is appended, you cannot change from script its 
flags....or more general, you will not be able to manipulate the branch 
flags previous to branch route.

the idea was to make "fix_nated_register" to add to RCV_URI AVP (which 
will be saved in usrloc as received) the "nat=yes" param....
