What is GnuCash' default currency?  How is it set?  Is this part of
your solution described or is there already a default currency?

So if the default currency is USD you can have a USD/DKK currency
account at the top level.  However, if you needed a DEM/FRF currency
account, you would have to add a USD/DEM account as a subaccount of
the USD/DKK, and then the DEM/FRF account could be a subaccount of
USD/DEM.  Is this what you intended?

What about regular (non-currency) accounts valued in different
currencies than the default currency?  Should they also be subaccounts
of a currency account, then?
