Also, looking through the groups aplication to ICANN it does not make any mention of allowing for those with .com names etc, to have primary chance on registering the .xxx alternative. Damn, can't wait for this to go through if it does - it will be an awesome chance for many.
All the technical specs are on their site. It's an interesting read. Most hosts support the new.net domains now, just not many people use them. It has somewhat gone the way of SVG.

ICANN is not the dictator of all that is a "domain". They only handle what is on their system, which is so far... The "Standard". This does not mean that they cannot be bypassed.

This is the internet, welcome. You can pretty much do anything if you know how.
