Now that .xxx is pretty much over...

I think they are likely to proceed along a couple of different tracks.

More obscenity trials testing the local standards issue for online delivery a bit more.

Passing some new laws trying to expand the 2257 requirements.

More attempts to pass mailer laws, and spyware/scumware laws. (Which would benefit most of us here.)

Maybe some attempts to use a business solution, related maybe to the "net neutrality" issue, allowing the big wire/fiber co.s and isp's to charge a fee to deliver porn and other "risky" materials.

And the stoning is always an idea burning in the oppositions minds. I think they'd approve of a bit of public stoning.
