To protect against these kinds of attacks (and DNS rebinding attacks), most (?) modern browsers won't allow a webpage to make requests to non-routable IP addresses unless the page itself came from a non-routable IP address. Not that that's a fix, but it definitely helps mitigate the issue.

I just tested Firefox and Chrome, both made a HTTP request successfully to my laptop's rfc1918 address referenced from a web page on the internet. Maybe you are thinking of IE's "zones" feature?
