many people are publishing "NSFW" warnings. So vague as it may be,
it's  apparently communicating something useful on the live web

That's "something useful in a large judeo-christian western
democracy",
then...

What's "safe for work" in China, or Iran?

Is a nude picture of a 17-year old safe for work in Holland? Or the
UK?


I don't think that matters AT ALL to the discussion at hand

On the contrary - it matters a great deal, unless you want uFs to only
codify a sub-set of judeo-christian western behaviours.

This is just silly. The microformat spec wouldn't specify what things are suitable for work. I could see Chinese-language or Arabic-language developing their own informal sense of what rel=nsfw means. It's a tool for content authors to use, nothing more. There's no codifying of anything.
