To my surprise, their VP replied. Here is the email:</p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I am happy to try and answer any questions you have.</p>\n<p>The changes we make to the site from time-to-time are usually informed by a desire to either reduce the overall bandwidth demands of serving the site, or improve its utility. At its heart it is a placeholder for a site no-one should be accessing, but we have historically showed a message there to inform visitors about why the domain is registered and how they may use it.</p>\n<p>As it tends to be heavily trafficked, the overall bandwidth is a key consideration, and to that end one of the changes we made this week was to split the page content into a more basic page, augmented by a separate Javascript file with additional content beyond that. Since most of the traffic to the site is automated it tends not to fetch the Javascript file, reducing overall data requirements.</p>\n<p>The fundamental purpose of the domain is for use in documentation, such as illustrative examples you may find in instructions. We know that people may, for example, cut-and-paste a sample configuration file and forget to customize entries that contain an example domain, and we expect we get some incidental traffic from that. However, the domain isn't intended to be a general purpose endpoint for things like availability testing so we do not encourage that kind of usage. There is no requirement there is a HTTP service present on the host in order to fulfill its purpose, we just operate it as a courtesy.</p>\n<p>Hope this is helpful. Let us know if you have any questions. You're free to use and recirculate this information as you see fit.</p>\n<p>Kim Davies</p>\n<p>Internet Assigned Numbers Authority</p>\n</blockquote>\n",
