I suspect the best solution here would be to support add-ons which would
go out every day and download fx rates from somewhere.

building that in, though without the IP addresses). For financial
transactions the rules are relatively simple: we record who enters, who
approves, and who deletes. Things cannot be deleted once approved. So it
is simple. Audit trails are simple enough in that case.
But for mutable information (chart of accounts info, contact info, etc)
that would be a big job.

this area needs additional discussion. I am going to put it in a stage
right after GL, before ar/ap transactions.
