I strongly suspect that the implication of that clause was "We're assuming that the Internet is unreachable in the proposed context." Obviously, you want it if you can get it... but one needs to be careful about things like trapping RFC1918 reverse DNS at the edge, to avoid problems caused by intermittent and/or non-existent access to the Internet.
