More reasons why .xxx will never be forced.

We have a much bigger chance of being forced into a rating system, like movies and music use. Something that is already in place, used widely, and accepted by the public.
The method I proposed doesn't have to fall foul of the Free Speech protections. It makes websites publishing in the US subject to US laws, existing laws.
