Kym, 

Don't forget ".museum" which is six characters (Michael pointed this out at a recent 
conference)

Hi Michael,

If you are validating for email on and off the Internet then validating the 
whole thing would be a good idea. TLDs are more complex than they used to 
be now with the new stuff so before you could just check that there was a 2 
char TLD, ".au" for us for example, and 3 chars for the fixed set that you 
used mainly. Now you are moving to ".us" and the TLDs include 4 char names 
such as .name

My feeling is a simple validation of "is it 2, 3 or 4 chars" would serve as 
a basic check and you could test for the specific 3 and 4 char ones if you 
wish as they are all specifically defined.

Yours,

Kym
