A red-light district tentatively cleared for construction on the internet -- the .xxx domain -- is being billed by backers as giving the $12 billion online porn industry a great opportunity to clean up its act.

Zoning in cyberspace has always been a daunting proposition, and participation in the porn domain will be voluntary. Critics wonder why .xxx got the OK at all when so many other proposals sit unaddressed, some for years.
