My understanding is that ICANN (or anybody) needs IETF approval to modify https://www.iana.org/assignments/special-use-domain-names/special-use-domain-names.xhtml. If that’s not the case, “never mind”. I just think the reliance on lore and oral tradition as opposed to SDO documented specifications to properly develop/operate the DNS should be avoided.
