I'm not sure why this matters. It's registered by IANA explicitly for
the purpose of letting people use it in documentation in just the way
this package proposes to do. There's no need to be alarmed that it's a
registered domain or to issue warnings about this fact; it's like that
precisely so that people don't register it for real use.

If an obviously invalid address is desired, .invalid is the correct TLD
to use, not a made-up one. Again, see the best current practice
documented in RFC 2606.
