In practice, a common-sense interpretation, which takes into account the "spirit" of what is being said, is the way lawyers (after you have paid them lots of money) will generally advise.
Ye-essss... and taking into account the spirit of not hosting the JRE on a public website would be to ... continue hosting the JRE on a public website?
The "spirit" is not that we can't host the JRE on a public website under any circumstances, the spirit is about not setting up a source for the JRE which would compete with Sun's website. Clearly if we took the precautions we all agreed to months ago, this would not be the case.
A common-sense interpretation would suggest this is not the case (and even a badly-paid lawyer would probably be inclined to agree)
Even a badly paid lawyer would note that you are begging the question. Sun's license does not preclude making the JRE available on a public server. Sun's license precludes allowing people to install the JRE from your public server without installing your software.
