Also, be careful of where you are pulling the list from. I got burned
by pulling a list that was not being updated
(https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=968064).

The Mozilla folks state the canonical list is at
http://publicsuffix.org/list/effective_tld_names.dat. See Comment 11
at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=968064#c11.
