Based on the below quoted portion of the release notes, there will be a few different tags in the profile indicating whether or not an account has billing information on file or not.

Does LL intent to add LSL functions to detect whether an avatar is "verified" or not? It might be a useful tool for a scripter to disable features of their products for individuals that might be under age, since there is no method of age verification in place.

Release Notes for Second Life 1.10.5(1) June 28, 2006
=====================================
New features:
* Each resident's profile now includes a field revealing whether the resident has provided payment information to Linden Lab.
** The profile's "Account" field includes account status: "Resident" or "Linden Lab Employee" and, in the case of "Resident" status one of three status entries:
*** "No Payment Info on File" - account was created with no credit card or Paypal
*** "Payment Info on File" - account has provided a credit card or Paypal
*** "Payment Info Used" - credit card or Paypal on account has successfully been billed
** We plan to provide features in future updates to mark specific parts of the Second Life world (or allow residents to mark their own land) as accessible only to accounts with payment information.

Not happy about Linden Labs purchase of XStreet (formerly SLX) and OnRez. Will this mean LL will ban resident run online shoping outlets in favor of their own?

I believe we do plan on this as part of :
"We plan to provide features in future updates to mark specific parts of the Second Life world (or allow residents to mark their own land) as accessible only to accounts with payment information."
