There's .local for mDNS, and .test for normal DNS. The IETF Homenet WG is currently using .home for site-local names, but I don't think it's been registered yet.

The full set of registered special-use TLDs is on http://www.iana.org/assignments/special-use-domain-names/...

.test does not sound like something you would like to deploy inside a cooperate network. Same goes for .invalid

.local is not an option anymore since it might interfere with mdns.

I think that not registering a domain and thus a namespace for internal use is simply stupid from a technical point of view.

It's unlikely that any person, or group of people, made an explicit decision that no such special-use name should be registered (ever). Rather, it's much more likely that nobody has proferred an I-D that would result in its registration and started the discussion. Since it does indeed seem like a good idea, and there's a fresh batch of drafts for single-name registrations, you could easily take one of those and modify it for 'internal'. and start the discussion.
