It's brief but it's not simple. "Manners" is an extremely complicated concept.

What qualifies as good manners varies from situation to situation, but the concept of acting with good manners is hardly complicated (conform to the expected behavior of the situation).

Enforcment is a matter of encoding the rules and then applying a carrot and/or stick -- same as any other rule.
