Does anyone have any historical information on how 'x.com' came to be registered even though single letters were 
reserved?

Is there a story or is it as simple as it was registered prior to the reservation?

Here's a story about its history.  It's very old, from 1992.

Interesting and informative one.
Who knows ā€˜qā€™ and ā€˜zā€™ nowadays ??
