Actually, it is anything in the 127.0.0.0/8 range. Bring up a command
prompt and ping 127.1.1.1, you'll receive a response from 127.0.0.1. You can
configure a real loopback interface as well if you would like.
The 169.254.0.0/16 is for use when an interface is configured for DHCP and
no DHCP server is available. Apple even uses this in OS X. It is for the
network challenged home networker, your system will randomly choose an
address and then see if there is a duplicate.
