The existence of this document and the lack of any better advice will mean
that the IETF recommendation is clear that the best setup for RFC 1918
networks is to use a reserved alpha-2 TLD. It isn't just pointing out
something that's already there, it's a massive shove encouraging people to
occupy this namespace.

As opposed to the current situation where the implicit advice is that you
should only use properly registered domain names, and reserved alpha-2
TLDs are only used by people like JP Mens in his test lab.
