It's a better answer than the other suggestions floating around, that's for sure.
One of the merits of a (regulated) .kids extension is that few people would oppose the notion of bringing the hammer down on anyone who posted age-restricted material -- pornographic or otherwise -- on a .kids domain. Where an adult-specific domain like .xxx is concerned, there probably would be a lot of debate as to the 'standards' and content policies adopted by those administering the sTLD.
In the end, no matter what policy the .xxx sTLD administrators came up with, none of it would do anything to prevent kids from being exposed to porn, unless .xxx was made mandatory, and an aggressive, international enforcement and filtering regime was put into place to ensure that any and all sexually explicit content posted outside of a .xxx domain was cracked down on in a big way. Such a system would be prohibitively expensive and labor-intensive -- and that's assuming that all the myriad countries and jurisdictions involved would even sign off on participating in the enforcement campaign in the first place.
As Brandon might say.... "Fight the impracticality!"
