I've considered this in the past... and while I think this would be a "good thing", the problem is that this goes against the intended purpose of "enterprise resources".

Perhaps if there were an option, like there is with Task Tracking, whereby a project could maintain seperate rates or the administrator could choose to enforce enterprise rates across all projects would solve this... What do you think?
