	To make Garrett's comment a little more useful, RFC 2606
(http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/cs/Services/rfc/rfc-text/rfc2606.txt)
specifies a set of domain names to use for examples. Specifically, in
this context we should be using example.{com|net|org}. Those domain
names are specifically reserved for this kind of thing. Additionally, by
convention example.net is used to indicate a provider, such as an ISP;
and example.{com|org} are used to indicate customers, and/or end users. 

	I'm sorry for not bringing this up sooner, it's long been on my list of
things I'd like to work on, but haven't had time. If there is anything I
can do to help, let me know.
