I think this is clever hack and should be documented, thank you!

Personally I'm bit torn because I've spent my whole professional career explaining people how bad idea it is to use non-delegated/non-unique names so I would really like to people from overusing this...

Would you be willing to add at least one paragraph with caution? Something along lines "private TLD should be used as _option of last resort_", or more verbose "these special TLDs should be used only when other options, e.g. private subtree under a properly delegated name, were considered and refused."

Thank you.
