I finally found the notes for PREFIX-common in the cvs changelog for Data.pm
(5 minutes after I hit send :) ).

This is pretty much what I was referring to (before I knew it existed), but
I don't see how it can be used to handle pricing information. If I set the
price of a variant to null ("") it comes up as £0 at the checkout and adds
£0 to the basket total.

I assume CommonAdjust is the way around this, I've just got to work out how
to do a CommonAdjust entry that searches for the mv_sku instead of the
default code.

Many Thanks,

Jamie Neil
