Again, who decides what is "adult" content?

These kind of schemes will be used by some sites, but keep in mind
that even keyword metatags -- which really only have _positive_
effects on page/site visibility -- aren't used by all (or even half)
the sites out there.  Anything that potentially has _negative_
effects on visibility is going to have much, much lower usage.

Unless it's mandated by an external body (which is also the only way
to solve the problem of defining "adult")...
