I suggest that if the mandate of .com  required that *cost of 
merchanise* had to be stated onsite, much of the pressure would 
be relieved.

 For 'enforcement', there is a body of net users who I imagine would 
be happy to tip off violators.

As for *implementation, it seems like an ideal place to use XML.
