Funny but not too funny.  This is exactly what the industry has been doing 
since before Postels' death.

And on the other hand you got your IP saying "you can't use this or that".  I 
do not think we should rewrite laws on this one.
I do not think that Burger King (tm) is or should want to be protected in the 
smut arena.  By golly I hope it is a different use that is not covered by 
hamburger sales.  Yikes, I hope a Cadillac car is not confused with a Cadillac 
???.  I do not think USC need worry that there Mascot will be mistaken for a 
condom. Donkey Kong should have nothing to worry about with the TJ Donkey -- 
whatever.
And I hate to tell you but Hedonism is/can/and has been a religion.  Sometimes 
we might confuse one group as having aclu.

Lauren and all,

  A very good point you made below.  This whole mess regarding .XXX seems
too much like a Capone'ish scam in the making.  Let's hope that ICANN has 
good enough judgment not to allow for .XXX to take this form or be approved 
at all.
