Even though I myself once or twice needed to pay in a different currency than ba.com wanted me to, I think the demand for such an option is not that high.
But BA already offers this, just not on the web, you need to call. So I guess the logistics are not the issue, it's just that they don't feel it's worth to add the functionality online...
