Thanks for your reply and others.

It doesn't seem like an appropriate use of the address to me, and I
stared in disbelief when I saw it, thinking something had gone wrong.

Even, for example, example.com has its own ip address. Or perhaps they
should have returned an error like an.invalid. I guess they want to
discourage its use but also prevent anyone grabbing it.
