How does considering this help us define the currency of the prices
presented?  It looks like we just strayed from marking up currency to
marking up exchange rates.

Working out values in secondary currencies is a (real-time or daily) job
for server-side scripting or user agents, surely?

Sure, but that doesn't make it the same problem. If we don't stick to a specific problem, we risk never solving anything as the goal continuously changes. Case in point:

None of the examples or brainstorming on the wiki so far seem to involve exchange rates nor value-over-time. That appears to be a separate, more complicated problem that can and should be considered after a currency microformat is complete, not before.

Peace,
