And exactly which newspaper will publish such lists? Hamodia or Yated? 🙂

I don’t know why you guys are searching for punishments. The Gemara already rules a punishment for offenders and that is ‘Yotzah Blo Kesuba’. This Din applies nowadays as well (without a Beis Din) and can be enforced through our Gedolim (if they want to). I think that with todays divorce rate you can even use it only as a threat. The guidelines are as stated in Gemara (such as elbows uncovered even sometimes, hair in public areas etc.) The grey area however will be, as The Wolf pointed out, stockings (below the knee) and Tefach of hair, which according to some are included in Das Yehudis while some argue. You could say however that it should go according to Minhag Hamakom.
