A "public suffix" is a domain name under which Internet users can
directly register own names.

Browsers and other web clients can use it to

* avoid privacy-leaking "supercookies"
* avoid privacy-leaking "super domain" certificates
(see post from Jeffry Walton)
* domain highlighting (parts of the domain) in a user interface
* sorting domain lists by site
