That's just my opinion, but I believe the intent behind that part of thew law is to stop people from starting some site that uses a name close to something kids would search for.

For example "policeman.net" IMO was a bad name to pick for a porn site. Of course they are not in the US but if they were I'm sure they would soon have issues with that site.

IMO it couldn't hurt to have an "adult" keyword in your domain. Personally I've always done that, I would say at least 80% of my domains have an adult keyword in them.

Add a warning page and I think it would be pretty reasonable that you didn't have intent to mislead anyone, especially if the domain has an adult keyword.

when i first started online there was a whitehouse domain name that pissed alot of parents off because they thought it was a government website when it was really a porn site. those are the types of names that are misleading.
