I can.  I need to look into how AccountGroups are used.  Right now, what
happens is that the sx accounts show up in the CoA.  Hmmm...  The sx
accounts have no parent, but I am also not saving/restoring any
indication of which AccountGroup each account should belong to.  I guess
I need another boolean indicating whether the Account is in the template
account group or the CoA account group.  If there can be more than these
account groups in the future, perhaps something more general is
required, though there is no identifier in an account group.
