Patrick,

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.

Of course, that list was a snapshot when the RFC was written - if some 
of those get delegated as TLDs in the future the recommendation wouldn't 
be a good one any more.

Thus from my reading of appendix G its status is quite clear. It doesn't 
say anything about future use of the suggested intranet labels.
