The point isn't that I can randomly find some domains which work
*today*, the point is that domains are needed which provide
predictable results for the life of the API, or there's no point
writing regression tests.

A further example: I ran out of credit in the testing environment,
while writing my test suite - as a result, all my scripts 'broke', and
I spent some fruitless time trying to 'fix' them purely as a result of
test data changing.

OpenSRS seem very keen on Full Access being done properly, with their
RITE test and so on; they need to back this up with some useful test
data in the Test environment.
