example.com/net/org DNS records

Does anyone know why IANA has assigned NS and A records to the
example.{com,org,net,...} domains? They even put up a website
at the IP explaining RFC 2606.

 * Why did they assign NSs and a valid IP to these invalid domains?

 * Are they breaking the RFC by doing this?

 * Are they breaking anti-UCE filters by doing this? (yes)

 * Are they harvesting URLs and referrers?

 * Will they next advertise routes for RFC 1918 addresses?
