Are drops from instanced rare spawns (Bruegal Ironknuckle, Miner Johnson come to mind) supposed to be BoP or BoE? They aren't really bosses but they are named in a dungeon.
Items from rare mobs in instances should also be BoE.

Black Malice and Haunting Blade (not present in our database) are drops from the Deathsworn Captain, a rare in SFK.
Both screenshots are from the end of 0.6
Alpha was more lenient when it came to loot restrictions. Most of items could be traded freely. Blizzard started limiting those options more and more with the following patches, citing anti-gold-seller measures.
I've done quite a lot of research and provided a lot of proof to clear any doubts. The following group of items should be reverted back to alpha state.
[World/Zone Drop Loot] Loot dropped randomly from mobs should NOT have any "Bind on..." tags. It should be tradeable even after using it after some time.

Glimmering Mail Boots are a world drop, Defias Renegade Ring however is a zone drop from the Stockade.
[Outdoor Quest Rewards] Rewards from outdoor quests should NOT have any "Bind on..." tags and should be traded freely, even after putting it on the character.

Crescent of Forlorn Spirits -> Last part of the Legend of Stalval quest chain. Crest of Darkshire -> Last part of [the Bride of the Embalmer] (not in 0.5.3) [Ring of Pure Silver] (not in 0.5.3) -> Reward for [Raeane's Cleansing] (not in 0.5.3). Soldier Cap -> Reward for Morbent Fel Crusader Belt ->Reward for Syndicate Assasins https://archive.thealphaproject.eu/media/Alpha-Project-Archive/UNSORTED/www3_telus_net/www3_telus_netPush_1_-_Dwarf_Warrior_KyanMehwulfe_Lv30_04-08.jpg
From 0.5.4 https://archive.thealphaproject.eu/media/Alpha-Project-Archive/Images/Azeroth/Eastern%20Kingdoms/Westfall/NoBans.jpg | 5f40c0dcde7efe00
Rings As you can notice in the screenshots above rings should also not have any "Bind on..." tags, however they should all have "Unique" tags. This was most likely done by Blizzard to prevent characters from buying/getting two of the same rings from other people.
Elite Outdoor Quests Even quests, which are elite offer rewards, which can be traded with everybody.
Sources Gold Lion Shield is a reward for A Grim Task, an elite quest in Wetlands (from 0.5.5)
Orc Crusher is a reward for Tharil'zun, an elite quest in Redridge.
[Rewards for Quests in Instances] Rewards from quests in instances should be "Bind on pickup". This was most likely done by Blizzard to prevent some characters avoiding doing difficult quests (or even instances) by paying people to get them those items.

[Crafting items] Items from crafting should NOT have a "Bind on..." tag UNLESS they are rare (blue).

[Dungeon Loot] Loot dropped by bosses in alpha instances should be Bind of Equip instead of Bind on Pickup.
