+<p>A <a for=/>host</a>'s <dfn for=host export id=concept-host-public-suffix>public suffix</dfn> is
+the portion of a <a for=/>host</a> which is controlled by a registrar, public or otherwise. To
+obtain <var>host</var>'s <a for=host>public suffix</a>, run the following steps:
+
+<ol>
+ <li><p>Let <var>parsed</var> be the result of <a lt="host parser">host parsing</a> <var>host</var>.
+
+ <li><p>If <var>parsed</var> is not a <a>domain</a>, return the empty string.

Is the public suffix a host? I guess it could be. I was assuming it was a string, but treating it as a host seems reasonable.
