One possible problem with this is that if you edit a transaction, you
have to re-adjust the balance on all the subsequent transactions. A
(perhaps) better choice would be to store the current balance with the
account, but that might be problematic given gnu-cash's rather free
mixing of accounts and categories (as I understand it, internally it
might be completely clean).
