The domain suffix in the 'domain suffix' field ...

sufficiently specifies the encoding of the <domain suffix> field.
as John noted, the term "item" is not defined, so we don't know how many
labels (dns fields) are permitted. This certainly encourages the
confusion between TLD and "organization base".
I'm also a tad uncomfortable with the levels of indirection in the cited
reference. The 3315 section really points to a section in 1035, modulo
prohibiting compressed form. The cited section in 1035 defines a basic
syntax but then relies on a different section in 1035. This all seems
likely to invite different interpretations.
