Netscape's Cookie spec says:
Only hosts within the specified domain can set a cookie for a domain
and domains must have at least two (2) or three (3) periods in them
to prevent domains of the form: ".com", ".edu", and "va.us". Any
domain that fails within one of the seven special top level domains
listed below only require two periods. Any other domain requires at
least three. The seven special top level domains are: "COM", "EDU",
"NET", "ORG", "GOV", "MIL", and "INT".
Limitations of not including "museum" and "coop" aside, this seems like
a reasonable starting point.
