I just had the following email from Froogle:

Hello,

Thank you for participating in Google Product Search. We are reaching out to you to inform you of updates to the Tax & Shipping settings tab located under "Settings" in your Google Merchant Center account. On this tab you will be able to set shipping values for your items on Google Product Search. We will soon be displaying this information on Google Product Search to provide buyers with important price information. This email provides an overview of the submission process in order to help you provide this data.

==================================================

HOW TO SET SHIPPING VALUES IN YOUR GOOGLE MERCHANT CENTER ACCOUNT

You have two options to set SHIPPING for your products:
1. Specify a flat shipping rate (or free shipping).
2. Define custom tables if the shipping rate you charge varies by price, weight, or number of items. Note: If you define a table based on the number of items, for now, we will use the rate in the first row only.
If you use the weight-based table option, please be sure to include the SHIPPING_WEIGHT attribute. More information on formatting the SHIPPING_WEIGHT attribute can be found here: http://www.google.com/support/mercha...pping%20weight

==================================================

HOW TO SET SHIPPING VALUES VIA DATA FEEDS OR GOOGLE BASE API

An alternate way to submit shipping information is to include item-level values for the new shipping attribute in your data feed.
These values will override any account-level default values that you have set for that item.
More information on formatting the revised SHIPPING attribute, please visit http://www.google.com/support/mercha...en_GB#shipping

The Google Product Search Team



Does this mean there needs to be some coding changed in the core files of this mod in order to output shipping tables to the xml data feed?
