I'm honestly a bit fond of the whole ongoing Romeo and Juliet theme in XEPs. I 
think there is some merit to introducing a human element to such traditionally 
dry topics. 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!
