You are right! I think there are only 2 suffix that I can think of that have mantained the original usage for:
.edu for schools, and
.gov for government related sites (and this is internationally too, even if the original sites are in Spanish)
Now with the internet growing everyday and more users and users, I'm sure more suffix will come out, like .cat, which I've seen in sites in "catalá" or catalonian. Did you ever imagine life would be like we know it now?
