Thanks, I had forgotten PICS. Roger Clarke wrote an overview of it in
1996: http://www.rogerclarke.com/II/PICS960716.html
It gets nine mentions in the Link archive, from 1996 to 2002.
The politics of PICS is discussed, at length, in Peter Chen's 2000
thesis, starting page 134:

Apparently, I welcomed its use:
"Rather than pushing for a criminal law regime to deal with on-line
content issues, the ABA recommends a self-regulatory framework (as
proposed by the ACS) for service providers with a content labelling
scheme based on PICS (Platform for Internet Content Selection)
standards." http://www.tomw.net.au/twadd13.htm
