Agreed - since the WWW is WW, who will dictate the morality upon which such decisions will be based? This either needs to be opened fully or remain in its current closed, semi-controlled state.
However, I say let the pornmeisters have there .porn, .adult, .sex, .xxx, and .anythingelse that will get them out of the .com world. This could then free up the .com realm for real .company use (as it should have been all along). It would also make it easier for corporate and parental blocking of those domain structures.
However, because it will make it easier for blocking, I don't expect that any of this matters because they'll remain right where they are and still grab those domains.
Sadly, the only group truly winning from this will be ICANN.
