Thanks. So the CA/Browser Forum has given space for this in their definitions, but lack establishing one of those TLD for the use case I mention. Which surprises me. We even have IP address ranges defined for usage in examples in documentation... How come no TLD has been assigned for development purposes with relaxed requirements. Everybody needs to develop, as a first step before using an actual TLD. Just use .lan or similar!

> ... but lack establishing one of those TLD for the use case I mention. Presumably, they didn't establish one because 1) that's outside of the scope of the BRs and 2) that's someone else's job, not theirs. Regardless, as I pointed out in a comment [0] a few days ago on another thread, there are several such "special-use" domain names, although none specifically "for development purposes". You won't be able to get a certificate signed by a PKIX CA for them, though; you'll just have to make your own. -- [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25531515 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25531515
