Maybe, the rights and responsibilities of the developers and customers in XP
would be something a lawyer could turn into a suitable contract.

Well, I am quite ignorant when it comes to all this. My end goal is to
have a contract that lays out the foundation for the same concepts
outlined by the "Optional Scope Contracts" document. You can probably
replace optional scope with "incremental functionality" or however a
legal document would want to call it.
I think it's not so much that I know what I want as much as it is that
I know what I do not want. I don't want to promise a client a 'site
that does everything' for X sum of money to be delivered in Z time..
and then go through a long enduring process of re-learning the
requirements.
