I unfortunately missed the call this week despite Felix asking me to attend, but looking at the thread and the discussion on issue 4103, I'd like to point that W3C have guidelines in terms of domain name in examples: [[ Domains in examples adhere to section 3, "Reserved Example Second Level Domain Names," in RFC 2606 [DOMAINS]. Use the domains example.com, example.org, and example.net for all examples. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) reserves them for this purpose. If you need an evocative name, use a machine name (e.g., http://cats.example.org). ]] http://www.w3.org/2001/06/manual/#Examples Contoso Ltd. doesn't come up as a trademark in the USPTO and a google search seems to agree with that fact as well. I don't believe we have guidelines in terms of trademark... yet. Example.Com is used in SampleML 1.0 in the pubrules document [1].
