The .xxx domain is a great idea but only if the porn sites are limited
to that domain and are not permitted to use any other domain.  This
would be similar to a "red light district" created by zoning codes that
group all adult establishments in the same part of town.  This way
parents could block the entire domain from their children.  The tricky
thing will be to develop the definitions that would qualify a cite for
the .xxx domain.  Intelligent people should be able to determine that,
but grouping all of these cites together would certainly be a help to
everyone who wants to keep smut and decadence out of their home.
Regulating their place on the web would not violate First Amendment
rights---even though I don't think the Constitution ever meant to give
them any.
