The general soltuion to this problem in URI land is to create examples in
the example.com/.org/.net domain (which is guanrateed to never exist), and
shout like hell if you see an example.com URI at use in the wild, ie. the
validator would fail.
Theres a lot you can do when you have an infinite address space.
