Our policy on this matter does not require the TLD operator to exert any
control about what happens at the "third level" or below. So any TLD

(Firefox also includes a character blacklist of those character which
look most like protocol chars (slash, dot etc.). This helps to prevent
confusion about the level of a particular label.)
