Example.com

Found RFC 2606 today (with a nudge from [livejournal.com profile] daerr), which reserves example.com and related domains for safe use in documentation. It also declares that the .example TLD can never actually exist and is therefore similarly safe, which is theoretically useful; I'm not convinced that "anything.example" looks like a domain, versus "anything.com". Guess it's time to break out the context stick.

Pretty neat, anyway. If you're into that sort of thing...
