Be careful, that is a decade plus old expired draft of a proposed update to RFC 2606. The current version of the standard, including 6761 which updates it, does not reserve most of those.

You are probably safe using names like .lan and .corp but they are not currently protected by standard in the way example is.

Ah, that's a good point.
