The Null Device

Legislators in the US are proposing segregating adult content on the Net, by allocating blocks of IP addresses as a "red-light district", and/or others as guaranteed "child-safe" areas. Other than issues of international jurisdiction (I wonder how they'll get Scandinavians and French to attach quite the same stigma to nudity as American Protestants do), this would pretty much rule out moving over to IPv6 (which, ironically, we'll have to do, as the Internet is running out of IP addresses).
