A few TLDs, including .EXAMPLE will be forever locked up and be prevented form use anywhere is this draft is approved. Most of the tlds in this draft I can find no great commercial use for, but .EXAMPLE might be commercially viable and may serve a greater purpose than as just an exmaple TLD in obscure technical documentation. Nobody outside of the namedroppers mailnig list and IET working groups has probably ever see this, so I'm posting it here for informative purposes. P.S. Originally there were some 30 or so TLDS that would have been reserved; when it went to Jon in his role as RFC ediroe he knocked them down to the 4 or 5 that are here.
