That has NOTHING to do with HOW anyone thinks that suddenly every version of sex.com, sex.net, sex.org, sex.ru, sex.co.uk etc is going to end up at sex.xxx. Obviously that can't happen and no one has a reasonable explanation as to how it can... taking into account actual international business and trade law, intellectual property law and trademark law.

You are really confusing this point. Everyone understands that .edu is reserved for accredited colleges and universities and that there are rules regarding its usage. But obviously no college or university is required to own a .edu domain. You are saying as an example that somehow every educational institution IN THE WORLD is going to be required to be on a .edu domain... even though its clearly not possible, clearly not enforceable and no one can put forth a reasonable manner in which this can be done thats fair to everyone, protects their business, marks/brands, legal rights and so on.
