I read it a few times and it really beats me (no pun intended) what the heck they were attempting to do here, except perhaps in some weird way to get the idea of "community standards" shot down.
There is always the fear (real,not imagined) that community standards makes legal and acceptable porn in one place become illegal and punishable in another. I stopped shipping video tapes / DVDs to the US as a result of new customs regualtions in the US that required me to declare that the materials were not obscene. However, they were not able to provide me with the location / city / state in which the materials would be examined, which meant I had to assume the most restrictive and most conservative possible setting, such as Salt Lake City or even an amish community.
However, without Miller, there would be a major lack of caselaw to protect adult materials, which could possibly be worse.
