There is https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=25865 which is
about more formally defining eTLDs and perhaps even exposing an API.
However, it's unclear whether exposing an API is a good thing. eTLDs
are used for cookies, storage boundaries in certain browsers, and
document.domain. However, nobody is really pleased with that situation
and wishes everything used origins instead.

So it's unclear whether to embrace eTLDs or retain hope that we can
slowly rid ourselves of features that depend on them.
