I guess you mean to allow Equity accounts in foreign--meaning not the
book's--currencies. You can already have Asset and Liability accounts in any
commodity you like.
Legality aside, why would you want to hide trading G/L from yourself? Why go to
the trouble of keeping your books in GnuCash if you don't want an accurate
model of your financial condition?
