Comment (by gdt):

 When I ran a server, one of the annoyances was it trying to open
 connections to RFC1918 addresses of servers behind NATs.   If you assume
 mobile clients, then having a server behind a NAT means that sometimes one
 can connect and sometimes, not, and that's a mess with the current repair
 behavior.   If you assume that all clients have global IP addresses and
 some servers don't, you inhabit a strange world.  So I see this as
 addressing an odd case, and  think that clients advertising any addresses
 at all and servers trying to connect to clients should be non-default
 behaviors.
