I think all it needs is something along the lines of "This BCP applies to TLS
as used on the public Internet [Not part of the text but meaning the area that
the IETF creates standards for]. Since TLS has been adopted in a large number
of areas outside of this, considerations for use in these areas are left to
relevant standards bodies to define".
I think it should be phrased the other way, as in
There are some environments (e.g., a network which has no connectivity to the public Internet), where this BCP need not apply.
I don't care what the wording is, but I think the right way to approach this is to carve out an exception for those who will be upset by the recommendation.
