I believe long natural sentence/phrase domains escape your arguments.

In CJK, "What is the nearest macdonald hamberger shop from here?".(kr|cn|jp|tw)
domain
may  raise interests and easier to remember and that was not possible
with LDH domains  for CJK peoples.

.kr .cn .jp domain suffices may be omitted in future localized web browsers, and
it will make japanese and chinese sentence domains good for PR marketing.

I think it is safe for us to leave much rooms for these creative naming
conventions
in our ACE proposals for the future.
