I wonder if it would make it easier to use "example" DNS names if, in
addition to the verbose and clumsy: "*.example", IMHO, we reserved gTLDs
like "*.foo", "*.bar", "*.bat", "*.baz", as well as the one used quite
frequently on this list lately: "*.tld", for use as example DNS names.
"foo" and "bar" seem fine for nerdy IETF examples. "bat" would pose
similar security issues as "com" :-). "baz" seems awfully close to
the ever-so-popular "biz" TLD.
"tld" seems like an excellent suggestion. Not much like any current
TLDs; it's well-known in the field of use; it is unlikely that there
is much commercial value to it; it's nearly impossible to pronounce
without spelling out the acronym.
