Several of my clients are "adult providers."

Suprisingly, they would prefer to be in an easily filtered domain like
"*.sex" so they don't have to worry about legal action from access by
minors.

Since the ".sex" top level domain is unlikely to happen, HTTPX would be
viable if it is supported by all browsers.

If you have an interest in the problem of filtering explicit content on
the web, please check out this internet draft.  It proposes using
designated ports other than port 80 to provide explicit content, thereby
making filtering a much simpler problem.  Obviously, this would not
provide a complete solution, it would only add an additional inexpensive
tool to help with the problem.
