None of the documents return publicly available pages, however. So, they could be place holders until Apple announces and official name, or they could reflect content Apple has prepared for release later today using the official name. The only thing this proves right now is that Apple's site search is returning results it likely ought'nt be returning.

Update: 9to5Mac has also found search results returning for iTunes 11 and LTE for iPhone. Quick, someone search for the Game of Thrones ending!
