window.location.hostname or document.URL.match(/^[^:]+\/\/)?([^:]+)/)[2]

No. That would also yield the port part.

var r = document.domain

That is the easiest standards-compliant approach, indeed. Well done.

And you doubted me enough to look it up. [...]

Write access to document.domain being used proprietarily
to work around the SOP made me suspicious enough for that:

window.location.hostname or document.URL.match(/^[^:]+\/\/)?([^:]+)/)[2]

document.URL.match(/^[^:]+\/\/)?([^:\/]+)/)[2]

But I'd prefer document.domain instead.

I love that command, Pointed - thanks for mentioning it. It will save
lots of effort now that I know it.
