I am trying to understand where there are misunderstandings and differences in 
insight. And I think you might have read 5.1 different than intended:

It is not trying to speak about  data that is leaked from "internal" to 
"public" DNS installs. But it tries to make a more generic point that solutions 
that are engineered for environments that are supposed to be closed will leak 
to the public Internet. With that comes a responsibility to design those 
solutions and protocols in such a way that they will have the appropriate 
security, privacy, and scalability properties.
