They resolve, but they belong to IANA and resolve to a web server that
just displays a simple message saying what they are for.  I just
rereasd 2606, and it says "The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority
(IANA) also currently has the following second level domain names
reserved which can be used as examples." about example.{com|net|org}.
I'd say they are following it just fine.

AMAZING BUT TRUE: There is so much sand in northern Africa that if it were
