Perhaps it'd clear things up if we changed the common name to "org(anization) local" addresses? I believe that was the intent behind the original site-local addresses, but many/most end-users have more than one phyiscal site and may be confused. > Being able to route these addresses throughout the internet would be > more of a drawback than a usable feature, as packets using these > addresses may not enter or leave the network. I think it would be reasonable to add a section explicitly stating such addresses SHOULD NOT be routed in public networks, but that end-user organizations MAY use them amongst themselves on private connections.
