Well, exactly. Canonically they're often referred to as TLDs in the context of "this trusted authority delegates sub-level hosts" but it means something different to many clients.

As the original comment suggested it's a bit of a non sequitur to call anything below the initial host label to be a TLD. I was just suggesting there isn't a generally accepted moniker for what they're called.

The public suffix list makes some kind of definition, mainly for cookie-level permissions.
