I wonder how the principle of opacity applies in this case... http://www.w3.org/TR/webarch/#pr-uri-opacity The proposal is: [[ The Mozilla Project (http://www.mozilla.org/), responsible for the Firefox web browser, requests your help. We are maintaining a list of all "Public Suffixes". A Public Suffix is a domain label under which internet users can directly register domains. Examples of Public Suffixes are ".net", ".org.uk" and ".pvt.k12.ca.us". In other words, the list is an encoding of the "structure" of each top-level domain, so a TLD may contain many Public Suffixes. This information is used by web browsers for several purposes - for example, to make sure they have secure cookie-setting policies. For more details, see http://publicsuffix.org/learn/. ]] -- Gervase Markham (Monday, 9 June) http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2008AprJun/0483.html arguments against include: [[ By proper design you can easily make cross-site cookies be verifiable. Set out the goal that a site must indicate that cross-site cookies is allowed for it to be accepted, and then work from there. There is many paths how to get there, and the more delegated you make it close to the owners and operators of the sites the better. The big question is what that design should look like, but it's certainly not a central repository with copies hardcoded into software. ]] -- Henrik Nordstrom 10 Jun 2008 http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/ietf-http-wg/2008AprJun/0552.html tracker: ISSUE-31, ISSUE-36 -- Dan Connolly, W3C http://www.w3.org/People/Connolly/ gpg D3C2 887B 0F92 6005 C541 0875 0F91 96DE 6E52 C29E
