No even has legal jurisdiction or authority to make such a thing happen.
But hey, who cares about the tedious details? Spreading unfounded fears and Irrational paranoia to watch the herd scatter is much more fun.
ICANN's rules for allowing new TLDs have changed dramatically in the time the .xxx insanity started. Everyone here is in deep deep deep denial to believe there won't eventually be .xxx/.sex tld's anyway.
and btw Ubob... people have been pre-registering .xxx, .sex, .god and all kinds of idiotic tlds since way before Stewart Lawly came around. I remember this happening in 97/98 Just ask Gordon (aka Mr Integrity) from Domainnamesystems
