Implementer's notes

The drafts I have written about Opera's DNS heuristic used to check cookie domains and the online "subTLD" information system that I suggested to replace it have now been refreshed.

There are no changes in the DNS heuristic draft, but the subTLD draft have been updated based on my experience with implementing the Public Suffix (a.k.a. SubTLD or Effective TLD) support that is planned for future versions of Opera (well past v10.0). As a result, the certs.opera.com server which is used for Opera's online Root Certificate repository has now started hosting Opera's XML based Public Suffix List,
based on and generated from the Public Suffix List project's list. The XML files are also available as a single download (without the digital signature, under the Mozilla Tri-license (MPL, GPL, LGPL) from our online download location.
