It creates an unmanaged type of a domain. The decision to mark
it as an unmanaged S1 or an unmanaged S2 domain, is done in the
finalise() function that it checks the S2 flag and set a stage
accordingly.

I think that I could add a few lines of comments inline or at
the top of the function to ease the readability.
