[NEW ISSUE] 4103 Questionable use of Contoso Ltd in Primer

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4103

Title: Questionable use of fictitious corp. name "Contoso Ltd."

Description: The Primer uses a fictitious corporation name, Contoso Ltd.,
throughout the Primer in its running example. It isn't clear that use of 
such a
fictitious name, without w3c copyright/trademark ownership, is advisable.
Should a company be incorporated with that name, then the Policy 1.5 
primer
would be in essence providing it with free advertising... Worse, the 
company
might sue the W3C for copyright/trademark infringement.

Justification: see description

Proposed Resolution: Change all occurances of "Contoso" and/or "Contoso 
Ltd."
to "Example.com" and change all "real.contoso.com" domain references to
"example.com".
