Does/should validators check for a static list of currently valid Top Level Domains (TLD)?

[jlegido]

First of all many thanks to all the people involved in this project, I really appreciate his/her time.

I was wondering if library is expected to simply validate a domain from a RFC standpoint or is expected to check a list of TLDs for instance.

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a script

cat <<EOF >> test.py
#!/usr/bin/python3
from validators import domain
print(domain("sanpellegrino-corporate.itOLDWEBSITE"))
EOF

2. Execute it

python3 test.py

Expected behaviour

False

Found behaviour

True

Errors

None

Additional information

Operating system:

Debian GNU/Linux bookworm/sid \n \l

Library version:

validators         0.18.2

Python version:

Python 3.9.9

I think it could be a good idea to use the daily updated list of TLD:
