For several years, Mozilla has maintained the Public Suffix List, a “map” of responsibilities within the DNS, as a service to the greater Internet community. We originally created it for browsers, but it has seen wider use in a surprising variety of places. There is now renewed interest in replacing it with something DNS-based and more robust. As a precursor to that work, I’m collecting a list of all the things the PSL is used for.
If you are a Mozilla hacker and know of somewhere we are using the PSL that isn’t listed, or if you know of uses of the PSL outside Mozilla, please add them.
Greet! I was never happy with building such a hardcoded list. There are way too many updates that need to be done every month. Do you have any pointer on what is being added to DNS. Is it draft-sullivan-domain-origin-assert (SOPA records) ?
Yeah, I’d be curious to see where that work is happening, as well.
There’s a BoF (“dbound”) at IETF in London in March. I’m planning to go to that and see what people are suggesting. I see my role as helping them define the problem to be solved, rather than choosing the best way to solve it.
The list misses some pretty new TLDs.

Well, forget about the last one. Somehow my previous search show that xxx was missing, and of course it isn’t that.
