In article <CABuGu1rekWo3mRkK_OpRksYNrSmPaFHD6k1_K=a7a_Sx7aMhBQ@mail.gmail.com> you write:

Right.

I'd suggest weasel wording it to say that the domain above an org
domain is often known as a public suffix domain, which typically
delegates the org domains below it to a unrelated parties.  This spec
allows public suffix domains to publish policies to supplant those of
their child org domains ...

I agree we should stay as far from mentioning the PSL and its specific
implementation as possible.  Who knows, someday people might get
around to trying my dbound in DNS implementation instead.
