Please identify ANYWHERE in this BCP (RFC 2606) that says that 
anybody MUST, SHOULD, ought to, might want to think about, or 
otherwise really really needs to, use these domain names.

Anywhere. Please quote text.

Your repeated statements that you think there is something in that 
BCP that "should be followed" indicate that you have not read the BCP.

The BCP registers names so that they can be used if one wants to. It 
does not say that they must be used in RFCs. It does not even 
recommend their use. It only registers the names.

Perhaps the ISO is different and they don't actually say what they 
mean when they write a document. That has not been my experience 
reading ISO documents, but perhaps it's because I work in the IETF.
