Indeed, that has certainly happened to .local, which Microsoft once recommended using for internal purposes - before mDNS came about and .local wound up being used for mDNS instead.
- o11c 3y agomDNS drafts actually date back to around 2000, which AFAICT precedes Microsoft's use.

I found at least one book[1] published in the year 2000 that discussed using .local as a private TLD. [1] https://www.uv.es/martineu/ad/bibliaAD.pdf https://www.uv.es/martineu/ad/bibliaAD.pdf
