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.
