3.1 is clearly completely out-of-scope and must be removed. There is
no reason that strings like "iab" or "iana" should be prohibited.

3.4 is a bit different because we no longer talk about "back office"
organisations like IAB or ARIN but about operational uses. "nic" and
"whois" could be seen are reasonable names to reserve to the
infrastructure. I'm more hesitant about "www". While I understand that
http://www.example/ could be seen as a Web site authoritative about
the TLD example, I'm not sure that we should reserve "www" and not
"mail", for instance.

Probably, the logical conclusion will be to drop 3.4 completely,
because I'm not sure we can have a consensus on the list (may be just
on "nic"?)
