Wait, you started off by saying that you really need to filter and keep some addresses local use, but then turn around and say you don't have any application for that. Which is it? We agree there is no need for you to have ambiguous addresses, but you appear to have a requirement for range limited addresses because you intentionally filter. Getting back to the question, is not trusting the hosts the requirement?
"Range limited addresses" could mean two things here: (1) Addresses that inherently have limited range, or (2) Addresses that effectively have a limited range, because the entire address is filtered at some boundary.
There is also a third alternative... Port/Address filtering. It may be that a particular address has limited range on some ports, and is globally accessible on other.
So the fact that someone uses filtering does not necessarily imply that they have a need for addresses that inherently have limited range.
