I totally support this.
It is totally technologically feasible. I believe terminals all have their home currency information, that is why transactions in some countries tend to raise security flags. If Visa/MC detects transactions in the currencies that are not the local ones, they deny those.
Consumer opt-in is just like DCC, it's a feature, it's not mandatory. If DCC is legal, then this is too.
If Visa/MC don't bother to do this, we can always deface the receipt and do chargebacks.
So, it is not the end of the world at all guys!
