That's an RFC to be careful of since some numpty decided that
example.com|.org|.net should not only actually resolve, but have some Redhat
box running a webserver answer for it as well.   At least it points you to
RFC2606 which I find somewhat ironic.   I always used to use example.com for
docs but I can't really anymore though as Rainer said, example.test seems to
be OK.
For now...

Cheers.
