Name of Function
Maybe, to match the current nomenclature of LSL, this should be called "llGetOwnerAccountBalance" or "llGetOwnerMoney"

Possible security issues
I just noted that with this function it would be possible to detect when the owner paid money to another person/object or received funds by recording the current amount of money, then testing again after a period of time and comparing the values. This would allow a malicious script to siphon money away from the owner to another player slowly and at each transaction so as to hide traces of it's activity.
