They are, but to be honest I don't think I've seen them used like
this, anywhere.  It was certainly the case that, for example,
rserpool tried to make similar assumptions about the security of
so-called "trusted networks" and was, uh, gently corrected.

And as I mentioned the last time around, and was not answered,
there's a question of scoping here:  do you really want this
draft only to be applicable to cases when there's a high degree
of "trust" of all devices connected to a given overlay?
