Re: [apps-discuss] "finding registered domains"

Andrew,

Reading the draft, I couldn't find any definition/description of what an
"administrative realm" or "authority" is. You are trying to address all the
issues listed here (cookies, DN highlighting, etc) but it is not obvious to
me why these all could/should be treated the same way.

For example, company Example may wants to prevent cookie sharing between
its domain (example.com) and their outsourced shopping subdomain (
shop.example.com), but likes to keep the address-bar domain-name
highlighting to "example.com", because of marketing reasons.

So, are you suggesting that there should be one administrative/authority
aspect for domain name hierarchy and the applications SHOULD adopt to this
assumption and behave similarly in different aspects of domain name
hierarchy (again, cookies, DN highlighting, etc)?

Thanks,
-Behnam
