I think that is correct.  The problem of finding the IP address of the
public interface is just another problem.
May be I'm wrong, but I believe localhost has a precise definition already,
it's not an invitation for us to ponder about the probable interpretations
of the separate words local + host.
Again, as it says in Wikipedia: "Localhost always translates to
the loopback IP address 127.0.0.1 in IPv4, or ::1 in IPv6"
Cheers and thanks for your work.
