I am obliged to come back on this. If the editors are to form a text we can 
live with, I think we also could. And if cannot, we should make clear in a 
note, or through a consensus of this group, that it has never been 
considered that "x-" tags could ever have to do with pornography (or 
exclusion as some of comments I received during the ICANN meeting).

I reopen the issue, not necessarily on the text itself but about the 
guidance given to the editor.
