Sure, there is always a chance that capulet.lit could become the next goatse.cx (or worse...*shutter*), but that seems unlikely. "Vender" neutrality is somewhat important, however. <http://capulet.com/> is indeed a real company, just as <http://montague.net/> is the official website of the town of Montague. Perhaps it is time for the IETF to have some "example" TLDs? ... ***looks up some internets*** ... Oh, it appears that "*.example" is such a TLD, along with "*.test" and "*.invalid": <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.example>. But <[email protected]> is such an ugly JID for someone who doth teach the torches to burn bright! -- Robert
