I think its a great idea to give pornography its own TLD. It will prevent (or rather reduce) new pornographic website popping up in the general .com .co.uk domains.

If only they could make it illegal to have pornography on any other TLD but .xxx it would make security alot easier by preventing users from viewing any .xxx domains. And im sure alot of hosting companies would be happy wo see this domain name as they could simply not offer it to clients.

Facing facts, pornography will always be on the net, legitamising it makes sense. On the subject of child pornography, well this is illegal anywhere, on any TLD, and I personally dont think they owners of such websites would really mind getting their domain name in .com or .xxx.
