An "Adult Best Practices" seal might be a very good idea.

Yes, but ASACP's best practices really only affect whether or not you can join/sponsor ASACP.... those that don't make the cut have not been shut out of the business or cut off from billing (by and large, at least), so there really isn't that much iron in the glove, as they say.
People have tried to establish organizations along these lines before, and they haven't gained much traction. There was Larry Walters' effort some years ago, "Best Practices Adult Video" which Alec Helmy (XBIZ) set up, and there have been others as well.
The way I view things, there are several distinct questions and arguments where obscenity law and other forms of restrictions on speech and expressive conduct are concerned. I
wrote about this for YNOT a couple years back -- with apologies to John Stuart Mill for my amateurish summarizing of his immensely important work.
