It's easy enough to check the PSL repo and see that .internal isn't there. As I think I said in another message, it's probably a heuristic that TLDs only contain letters. In any event, I don't see why this is important. On my network I have repurposed one of the ISO user defined codes as a local TLD, and browsers can reach the local web sites easily enough give or take complaints about self-signed SSL certs. They can do the same thing with .internal names with no changes.
