Yes, but for the URL "http://www.google.co.uk/" you would need to have
publicsuffix.org information in order to determine that the effective
domain is "google.co.uk" and not "co.uk".

I'm not going to add this because cookies and document.domain are not
good use cases for this. Cookies should eventually move to an
origin-based security model (probably via some kind of opt-in) and
document.domain should simply be avoided.

(Ian asked me to reply to this thread
https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=20011 as the URL
Standard now deals with these attributes.)
