With so many options, better ones at that... .xxx stands no chance of being forced.
Look at the UK and their BBFC for an example of what could be done.

License all porn sites. No license, no argument you're breaking US law so unless you yourself block US access. The US will do it for you. No billing, no advertising, Domains deleted and blocked.

All sites will be subject to producing documents that comply with US law 2257.

To get a license cost what it costs to run and enforce the licensing system. License cost will relate to the size of the site and the sites will be reviewed.

Some companies like Manwin would lap it up and join right away, along with all the other big guys. Because everyone who can't afford or get a license, loses the traffic. Also free porn becomes a thing of the past, affiliates won't be able to afford the costs.

And they can add what ever other stipulation to getting a license they wish to.

The German law is a joke, Germans surf sites in other countries.
