Reminds me of the client who wanted a marriage certificate but wanted me to leave out any info on the bride, to save money.

On a serious note, I would make sure her requirements are expressed in writing (or even in an email). I have seen many experiences like this - not just in genealogy - where specific, and slightly unusual, requirements were only expressed verbally, and then disputed by the client after they been given the results/services/whatever.
