I'll stick that in as an RFC Editor note now.

Why?  It already says this:

   Therefore this document registers
   a formal namespace identifier of "example", similar to "example.com"
   and other domain names [RFC2606].

What's the reason for *also* mentioning 5737?  The point is already
made, isn't it?
