FWIW, "domain suffix" is used in RFC 3263, 3588, 4183 and 4620. In none
of these documents does it seem that the author has seen a requirement
for a definition; "a domain name that is intended to be used as a suffix
of a complete domain name" seems to be the implied definition.
A pity that Verisign has started using it differently.
