Looking at draft 20, the public/confidential (replacing private) terms still seem awkward. I still had a "huh" reaction.

It appears that the major qualities are:  how wide is the client distributed and shared and how well the client app is controlled.

How about widely-distributed vs. controlled-distribution ? 

Other ideas?
