This is a change that will make it much easier to maintain alternative chains for which nValue is not a constant. Initially this will be used to implement some of the models found in Appendix B of the document below.

Allowing this will enable tracking of more complexly defined financial assets.

Encapsulation seems correct, but typically we do not want to burden the bitcoin codebase with changes for a non-bitcoin experiment that has not happened yet, and may or may not be successful. Typically you would want to fork the bitcoin code (very easy, with git), make your changes, perform your experiments, and then propose bitcoin changes.

So, NAK - need not demonstrated
