Actually, I'm enamoured of someone's idea to just blackhole new.net and let them figure out how to sort that. Saves me a whole lot of trouble, I just get to ask the customer where they got the idea that .xxx was a valid tld.
If we all do that (And yes I can see a significant [10%+] fraction of this group's readership doing it), then the problem goes away soon. An elegant fix, except that new.net would probably sue anyone who blackholed them...
Indeed they would. It is even likely that they'd win. Such action wouldn't win ICANN any favours in Congress either.
