If not, some squatter will be rich.
This is going to be a mess. ICANN is global so how are they going to give (for example) adult.xxx to adult.com when maybe there is a adult.jp or adult.co.uk...

I'm betting it's going to be first come first serve, unless of course you are helping them promote .xxx, then I'm sure they will work something out for you.

One big freakin' mess.
