[UA-discuss] UA and phishiness

[Paul Stahura]

folks should not block entire TLDs, only subdomains
which is what happens in all legacy TLDs.  I doubt any admin is blocking ALL of .com, .biz, .uk etc
my suggestion:

make sure you accept any TLD by default, but feel free to blacklist any domain name that you consider harmful

So, what we could advocate is: make sure you accept any TLD (and any domain name) by default, but feel free to blacklist those that you consider harmful.
