we need to forget about using this as a demarcation for allowability of plaintext or not. there are PLENTY of ISPs allocating private addresses to customers, many on effectively broadcast segments (e.g. cable). There are also plenty of public servers (e.g. on the public internet) that require plaintext access (e.g. CRL and OCSP servers for starters). So I don't think it's useful to arbitrarily compartmentalise the plaintext vs encrypted web like that. Or even at all. I believe it should be up to choice.
