Um, people, this precise issue is ancient history. The IETF community ran into this buzz-saw years ago, and there is now a set of reserved domain names -just- for sake of documentation & examples.

See RFC-2606, check out the registration info for "example.com".

So we just need to encourage people to use the reserved names (EG: "example.com") rather than 'foo/bar/blah.com'

Thanks Dave. I'll add the ones mentioned in RFC 2606:

example.com example.net example.org

but we should also include common examples from everyday use, even if they're not technically RFC compliant.
