http://example.org/ turns out to be an actual web site run by IANA (I was
surprised as well), so it's worth noting that using that domain in
installed HTML in a way that could cause the browser to try to load
resources from it is actually a privacy leak.  (Chances are that IANA
isn't doing anything interesting with that information, but we have no
guarantee of that.)
