I'm not recommending anything, I'm just following the RFC you quoted.
New users are probably more comfortable seeing domains of a form that they're
familiar with.
I also don't think that example.net actually belongs to NSI, it's just in the
whois database to stop people trying to register it.
My main concern was to not use myISP.com, which does actually belong to someone.
