Konqueror has a file named /usr/share/apps/khtml/domain_info which, on
my system, contains:

twoLevelTLD=name,ai,au,bd,bh,ck,eg,et,fk,il,in,kh,kr,mk,mt,na,np,nz,pg,pk,qa,sa,sb,sg,sv,ua,ug,uk,uy,vn,za,zw

I do not find where it is documented, I assume it is maintained by
hand and is related to cookie policy.

1) Can you explain what this file is for and what precise criteria are
   used to be included in it?

2) Some TLD like ".fr" (for which I work) but also ".af", ".dz", etc,
   register both in the TLD and in subdomains. How is it handled?

3) How is this file maintained? Suppose we open ".pm" (which we,
   AFNIC, also manage) tomorrow with a "2 level" policy, how long will
   it take for this information to arrive in every Konqueror?
