Wow. I would think that a dedicated .xxx domain would make regulators' lives easier: if a site goes for that suffix, then we havea pretty good idea what their hosted content is. The real sticking points are the definition of porn (we know it when we see it, and then we blame malware), and that ICANN doesn't want to give itself more work! Awesome to see that our contributors are on top of this story. And, as this is a sober issue, I'll limit myself to that one pun.
