First, "misspelled" is not 'mis-typed'. Mistyping can still bring up porn.
Lastly, being more clear with URL makes it easier for curious minds to find that which we too often stumble across anyway.
The intent is honorable, but the US doesn't own the Internet and try as they might, can not control URL's in other countries (yet).
It is sad how just a few years ago politicians, corporations, and religious leaders thought he Internet was a passing fad, then tout it as the 'second coming' and then, try to control that which is world-wide.
As CNN reported a few days ago, the majority of kiddie-porn sites are on servers in the U.S. The americans, with the help of the UN can't find Bin Laden - how do they expect to control the 'Net with a few words on paper?
