It's not as well-linked as it should be, but the definition of the list format is here: http://publicsuffix.org/format/ If this language is insufficiently normative, perhaps someone with experience or writing speccy normative language might like to revise it. This may well expose ambiguities. Code in Mozilla parses the list and makes a comparison of a domain with the list, I would hope according to the rules given at the above URL, and returns true or false as appropriate.
