Hmm... You know maybe it's my American heritage and InterNIC familiarity, but I
always defined things like microsoft.com, harvard.edu, and cam.ac.uk as domains.
As in "what's your domain", or "register a domain".
Although, now that I read the InterNIC page, this is what they call a second
level domain (or maybe third, etc.) so perhaps it just the net lingo that
misnames these domains. However, I think it doeslead to some confusion (as in
"why doesn't my domain report list things like micorosoft.com?")
