It works now, its probably supported by the search engines, it is supported by the safesearch tools today. Pretty much a done issue.
I agree completely, though I'd expect the following response, and this has been discussed elsewhere:

1. We don't want to give control to a third party. ANSWER: Modify the rdf files and you can rid of any dependence on ICRA.org.
2. rdf file / label is too big. ANSWER: The meta tag is no longer than a keyword tag and the rdf file is no bigger than a 50x50 thumbnail image.
3. We don't want to register 10000 times to label our sites. ANSWER: One time registration, one RDF file.
4. We want a simple tag. ANSWER: Push for a simpler tag; in the meantime, use what already works.
5. Using what "already works" is an endorsement of a faulty labeling system and giving over control to a third-party organization

In other words, what Paul Cambria said recently before a US Senate committee is accurate.

Connor Young: What he should have explained to Senator Stevens is that most legitimate adult websites do in fact label their content, usually with the ICRA labeling system, and that if a parent makes use of existing browser controls in Internet Explorer, all of these labeled websites will be automatically blocked. Instead, and to my utter disbelief, Mr. Cambria told Senator Stevens that adult businesses do not label their websites, but that, gee whiz, perhaps they ought to start!
