> a newline separated list of domains why not list of URIs? i don't like the tendency that every real-life authority (businnes, org, school, town, community, person) has its own domain. DNS was meant to be hierarchical. i get it that "it happened to be this way" because of the bad decisions of various web tech (or the absolute lack of coordination between them). but we at least may escape from it. when a person or many of small communities, or often even a town has its own domain name, they usually does not manage it, not even own it. they outsource this heavy IT duty to an IT company. so in reality the IT company controls the domain. then why IT-competent people today treat example-person.com and example-school.com being controlled by separate authorities while treat example-hosting.com/~person and example-hosting.com/~school by the same? example-person.com and example-school.com are both controlled by the same hosting company. "because example-hosting.com/~person can set cookies on example-hosting.com/~school" they say. – ok, she should not. hte public suffix list is also the product of bad tech.
