Well, so far that sounds doable, that the only development would be
simulating separate books based on the sku.
If I can 'fudge' separate catalogs by controlling which store the item
appears on, and separating each store's items out for reporting later,
that could work. The one stumbling block would seem to be payment, which
I don't think can be overridden by product, and possibly shipping, which
I think cannot either other than as flat-rate groupings.
The payment part interests me on two levels, because I'd started the
module uc_gateway_mediation and one of the requests is that it mediate
based on currency, that is, choose the online merchant to use based on
the currency in effect for that location.
I'll contact you for a link if you think it will show me something,
given that I'd only be looking at it from one country, and would not be
seeing the admin side at all.

Jeff, you can contact me privately if you want a link to the site in
question. It was done under another company I worked with, so I don't
want to take open credit for it :)

I'm trying to remember, exactly :) The one we'd done was actually
the latter case you describe. It was for a Jewelry company, based
out of Halifax, NS, Canada with an online presence in Canada, US,
Australia and a few other countries. We built the system, off of a
single install so that each product could display in a single
country, or all countries. I believe that the SKU was shared as
well. I don't think we'd used the Ubercart Domain Access module, but
it sounds like just the ticket, as it will label a purchase of any
SKU with the appropriate domain it was purchased under. So.. I'm
guessing the only custom-ish thing you may need to do is build an
admin view to show reports per country, if that isn't a part of said
module.
So, long and short - if Widget was set as SKU 001 and was configured
to be shown in US, Canada but NOT Mexico (let's say), it will appear
on the Canadian and US domains, but would not show up as part of the
Mexican storefront. If you purchased from either US/Can, it will
come through with the single SKU, marked somewhere in the system with
that country.
Not sure if that clarifies or helps :/
