There's private use ranges for classes and types. They don't have specific mnemonics but you can use the generic ones (eg: CLASS65280 and TYPE65280).

CHAOS probably gets used most because that's what BIND happened to do.

I just sort of assume it's because `dig` already has the string mapped. But maybe people just like typing "chaos".
