One possibility for the latter two is that Comodo and/or Symantec used
an algorithm for detecting certs with internal names which was "no
dots", which wouldn't have turned these up. .local is clearly a local
domain - RFC 6762. .corp was originally just another TLD, but it was
controversial due to widespread internal use, and I was arguing for it
to be reserved for special use, but I don't know if it ever was. Does
anyone know the current status?

However, the first one of the three is a clear internal name, and it
would be good to hear from Comodo as to how it missed their revocation
sweep.

Given that you had to process 2 million certs to find them, and given
that auditors currently check on a "sampling" basis, I wouldn't
necessarily expect auditors to find these.
