My recollection of the discussion at the time was that part of the reasoning behind that note was security: the CLI server was a new piece of code, and the public Internet is a pretty hostile place, particularly for Web servers. Therefore the intention was to discourage users from exposing the CLI server on anything other than loopback and private networks. It doesn't sound like that's a problem for Kevin, but I'm pretty sure that was part of the context there. Adam
