Some names are reserved. example.com, example.org, ... cannot be
registered.

Is it enough to just say that, in all ccTLDs, and geographic TLDs
at lower levels, .gov.TLD must be reserved for the gov't of the
associated political entity? gov.ca.us for California state gov't,
gov.fr for France, ...

That gives them an unambiguos place to be, and gives people an
easy way to find them.
