And what happens when a non-connected internet starts connecting to the
public Internet?  Even if it's through a single-layered proxy?

Better to use non-conflicting IP addresses to start off with.  Trying to
do this with self-issued IP addresses has caused problems more than
once.  [Yah, "this is what RFC 1918 is for", but what if two RFC 1918
networks connect?]
