How does Windows 8 Loop Back work?

Local services are not available to Windows 8 apps. If I enable Loop Back, then I can access local services, but my Windows 8 app will not be allowed in the Store. If I do not care about the Store (for a line of business app) how do I use Loop Back?

This document tells you how; however, it also includes the following note:

Warning Loopback is only permitted for development purposes. Usage by apps installed outside of Visual Studio is not permitted.

I read that as even sideloaded apps are not permitted to do so; though, I'm not sure how that could be enforced.
