WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Internet's primary oversight body approved a plan Wednesday to create a virtual red-light district, setting the stage for pornographic Web sites to use new addresses ending in "xxx"
Adult-oriented sites, a $12 billion industry, probably could begin buying "xxx" addresses as early as fall or winter depending on ICM's plans, ICANN spokesman Kieran Baker said.
Oh yeah... :D

Yeah, but I bet you 90% of porn sites won't use it :(

I like the idea.

If only there was a way to MAKE adult sites use it. It would make blocking pornography much eaiser. But then you get into the question of 'what is porn...'

what manu said .
Difficult to implement and enforce, since enforcement is rather against the very spirit of the WWW, but it would iindeed be very practical .
