I haven't seen the schema.  Do you store both the 'ledger balance'
and the 'trial balance' (i forget what its called), i.e. what's
not been cleared yet?

And my apologies for dropping into the middle of this: do you store
the current ledger balance with the account, or do you try to store
historical balances with each transaction?  I assume the former
(and the engine dynamcally computes a running balance for the 
displayed splits).    If the latter, don't you have serious update
problems?
