Curious! I thought that you meant they were reserved not to exist.
I see there are more:
.test .example .invalid .localhost
But http://invalid.com does exist and work. Perhaps I understood it wrong.
But it is not the same. domain.invalid is not a valid domain name but invalid.com is.
Then, they are not implemented. Both "invalid" and "test" give the same answer: cer@nimrodel:~> dig invalid ; <<>> DiG 9.4.1-P1 <<>> invalid ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 35168 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;invalid.
