it's almost the same.  

first, completely isolated sites aren't as interesting as sites that do
have some connection to other sites - just not to the public Internet.
and the other sites might have external connections...)  as we learned
with RFC 1918, sooner or later many isolated nets will want to connect
to other sites.

the second difference with SLs is in application policy - an application
that is written to avoid use of SLs (because they are ambiguous) may not
work on a net that uses only SLs.
