It is true there is no "Belgian language", but there Belgian Wikipedians 
and Belgian wikipedia users. In Belgium, like I think in most nations, a 
internet user will think about the country domain first.

Most users know only 2 TLD's,  .XX (national TLD) and .com

Wikipedia.be is the logical domain if you are from Belgium.
