Perhaps, we need something based on a broader basket which should include oil and energies, a sampling of "stable" currencies, etc. Maybe the Chinese will tell us sometime this year that it should be 30% Yuan, 30% oil, 20% gold and 20% natural gas! At this point, we have to do whatever our Communist bosses tell us to do. Or else... :-)

platinum would work, and silver, as long as fixed in price in terms of gold :0) dunno, but i have a difficult time keeping a straight face using the word inflation to describe a situation where home prices are dropping, share values are tanking, folks are losing jobs, and bond prices rising otoh, gold prices are ramping, so perhaps we can call deflation inflation and settle the debate amicably :0)
