I've always taken that just to mean that classified documents and the 
like are out of bounds. We don't require that our references be 
available as books on tape for the benefit of illiterate Wikipedians, or 
that references are only English-language because not every reader knows 
French - it might take some effort, but every reader can learn a foreign 
language or hire a translator.
