I interpret Mr. Tseng's suggestion differently - that any <ml>.kr could indicate Korean, any <ml>.cn could indicate Chinese (or whatever) and any <ml>. jp could indicate Japanese. I think that's what he means by "we assume the ccTLD implied the language used." Additionally, <ml>.kr.com could indicate Korean, etc.
