Default Re: [M07] Foreign Currency Credit Limit Translation

It's probably a behavior by accident. There are lots of these marginal
things in Money that indicate they don't actually do it for much more than
show or they'd think this stuff through better.

Since Credit Limit is used almost nowhere, it probably doesn't matter much.
(Bonus points for anybody who can name a place it's used. I'm betting
Advisor FYI can tell you if you are getting close. It may display in Account
List?)

Default [M07] Foreign Currency Credit Limit Translation

I'm using the US version of Money 2007 Premium.
One of my credit card accounts is denominated in GBP.

The Account Settings allow me to specify a credit limit for the card.
If I choose [Change Credit Details], I can modify the limit but the entry
field, although it doesn't say so, is expecting a USD value. This is then
translated on the account settings page to show the GBP equivalent.

The problem with this approach is that the credit limit for the card will
continually change as the cable rate fluctuates. Is this behaviour by design
or is this a bug? It's not a huge issue but it seems to me that the credit
limit should be fixed in the denomination currency of the account.
