That's up to you.  I just thought you would want to make progress on
the database/ gnucash design issues now, then go back and change some
fields later, rather than waiting some indefinite amount of time for
cleanups in the gnucash data structures.  There are so many painful
issues in integrating a database backend that I didn't think it would
be a relatively big deal to restructure the tables, given the
(probably protracted) time frame before any of the DB code actually
sees the light of day.
