The current spec defines a third-party URI as one with a different second-level domain. This seems potentially underinclusive: 1) are all *.co.uk hosts first party to one another?, and 2) in cases either of DNS aliasing or shared hosting (foo.wordpress.com and bar.wordpress.com), are subdomains a good indicator of the same business relationship?

What you're looking for here might be "different public suffix" rather
than "different second-level domain".   See
