people doing whatever they please inside a private domain, obviously.
As always, there are no protocol police.
We had a lot of this conversation in a slightly different form prior to

RFC 6437. It proved impossible to specify "local domain" rules that could
reach consensus. I think we'd have the same problem trying to write rules
for header insertion/deletion within a domain. But in any case, that isn't
the target for RFC2460bis: the target is the Internet.
We also know that this statement from RFC1918 hasn't been 100% effective:
Because private addresses have no global meaning, routing information about private networks shall not be propagated on inter-enterprise links, and packets with private source or destination addresses should not be forwarded across such links.
and we still don't have enough deployment of BCP38 which would also help enforce that.
If it is possible to plug a device into the Internet I think it is better to assume somebody probably will (and you won't be there to stop them) and design to that assumption.
(All the recent "IoT" botnets and corresponding attacks are a result of assuming those devices will only be connected to Private Internets, and therefore they don't have to be individually "Internet proof" (conceptually similar to a "water proof" watch).)

Mark.
