I'd look for a *transparent* choice of services (e.g. xmethods, Yahoo,
xe) with a unified API; historic lookups (i.e. what was the GBP:EUR
exchange rate on 2004-01-01); getting a list of available currencies
from the current service; the ability to feed in the following:
getPrice(12.00, 'GBP', 'USD');
to get the current value of GBP12.00 in USD.
I don't know if all these features are supported, but that's what I'd want.
Cheers,
David Grant
