I think that is a nice feature, Imagine reading a US report of laser printer
prices in a KSpread file
when you have the German locales set. Then you hurry buy a printer because it
costs only 300 DEM (instead of 300$).
I think that currency must be saved inside the document, but having the
possibility to change it later or mix (maybe already exist)
