Yes, I agree.  We should clearly specify what if any is the legal consequences 
of the interactions.  But that is true with digital signatures too.  (e.g If my 
private key is compromised and the CA took two hours to regenerate a CRL, and 
the merchant did not time stamp the CRL or used one on cache, then what will the
outcome be in court?  :-)

Lawyers will have to be involved.  Ouch...  :-)
