If they needn't all be published works, I imagine that ajhalluk's Lust over Pendle and Time Shall Not Mend would count.
I'd agree with papersky that the list feels broad, though. If the point is to collect titles of books whose concerns turn upon structured manners, no worries. If these are all mean to share something of the same manner-structure (governing cultural influence and/or basis?), the "something" seems too subjective. I guess I'm asking how far from *central* focus a book can stray and still qualify for this list.
I've read about two-thirds of what you list, for what it's worth in evaluating my question. If Martha Wells' Death of the Necromancer counts, Delia Sherman's The Porcelain Dove should as well. Not as sure about Elsewhere and Never-never.
And I'd add one if we're collectively going for the looser sense: Liz Williams, The Poison Master. David Kennedy recently reviewed it on r.a.sf.w, and I posted a brief plug for it some time earlier. (Slow connection, not going to hunt down google refs.)
