BUT this need not necessarily be a public domain ..., just think of 
Active Directory Domains ...

not one registry is willing to give me a domain - even when I pay for 
this - which I only use in a LAN,
and the authoritativ DNS servers would then just be  127.0.0.1 or ::1

there is a security reason why companies often use .local for this case 
..., but since RFC 6762 this conflicts ...
so there is the need of a TLD a company can use without conflicting ...
