There is also a use of .id by Blockstack? as opposed to the ccTLD for 
Indonesia.  (This one just jumps to mind.)

I did some looking and despite thinking there was once a backlog of a dozen, I 
haven't come across it in the mailing list.  (I could be wrong.)  What about 
.belkin, often cited as a string seen but not allocated?

My goal is to see the problem statement document get more detailed so we can 
know when we've solved the problem.  ("The problem" is meant to be general, not 
necessarily the problem at hand.)

I don't think liveness of drafts is a sufficient measure of activity, 
considering the problem statement talks about uses from folks not engaging in 
the IETF process.  (If I'm hungry and in line at a restaurant, then walk away 
because the wait is too long, I'm still hungry.)
