I agree with Erik's assessment of Appendix G:

> That appendix seems to have a different purpose, which is to tell those that might use ".local" for their intranet that they need to change (to avoid conflict with mDNS) and then goes on to list some names which others have been using for their intranet without conflicts.

I don't interpret Appendix G as making any formal assignment of special use to any of the listed names.
