+    \section1 The Public Suffix List
+
+    \e{The Public Suffix List is an initiative of the Mozilla Project, but is
+       maintained as a community resource. It is available for use in any
+       software, but was originally created to meet the needs of browser
+       manufacturers. It allows browsers to, for example:}
+    \list
+    \o \e{Avoid privacy-damaging "supercookies" being set for high-level
+          domain name suffixes}
+    \o \e{Highlight the most important part of a domain name in the user
+          interface}
+    \o \e{Accurately sort history entries by site}
+    \endlist
+    -- quoted from \l{publicsuffix.org}.
+
+    The public suffix list is used inside Qt to avoid such "supercookies"
+    mentioned above being set in the cookie jar supported by Qt (by the
+    QNetworkCookieJar class).
+
+    See \c src/network/access/qnetworkcookiejartlds_p.h.INFO for more
+    information about how the list is used.
