There is no lower 'specification' because each one is unique.
.mx is administered, for example, by www.nic.mx (I believe), so it is
their option to subdivide the .mx tld however they see fit. Each tld
gets to do this however it wants. Mexico chose .com.mx and .gob.mx
(the latter for government sites), for example, while the UK
chose .co.uk and .me.uk (the latter for personal pages), etc. Since
each one of these tlds is managed independently, it would be nearly
impossible to construct a list of the possible second level domains
for al the tlds. Sure, you might be able to get .mx and .uk info
fairly easily, but what about .cc or .cx or .fj? And as soon as you
do construct such a list, it will be out of date.
If you are trying to verify a valid email address or a valid domain,
there are better ways.
