  ROFLMAO!  Well .sex might be dangerous in Some
African countries, which may have been the IETF's motivation
for the RFC you reference.  .XXX is a different matter, yet
perhaps such a "xTLD" has some merit  "contracted" correctly.
However given ICANN's lack of reasonable legal expertise
I would advise strongly against taking any contractual determination
of such an "xTLD/ Adult TLD" without independent stakeholder/user
review, as it would almost certainly be a magnet for under age
stakeholders/users and thereby have it's own moral and cultural
implications on a global scale..

  As our friend and fellow stakeholder/user often told me,
"there is no sex/.sex in Vietnam"... >;)
