You're right. I was actually referring to special-use names which have been specified at the IETF to date rather than those that are in the process of being specified, but that wasn't clear in the words I used. (I appreciate that in the sense of widespread deployment and implementation bonjour is clearly extremely specified, but in an IETF context the work is still ongoing, I think).
