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.
HTTPX is as well supported as anything else for this purpose; all browsers should be able to view such sites (it's just a different port, which can be encoded in the URL); I don't know of any browsers which currently support code to block such URLs, but it's really easy to block them with any firewall code I know of. Except of course for the use of anonymizers to bypass blocks.... -Bennett
