I've been wrestling with this on and off since the end of 2000 when
the problem first occurred to me.  One thought that I had was that
XSLT could be a solution.  Anybody have experience with that?  I don't
really have much experience with XML, so it's a matter of coming up to
speed on XML, XSLT filtering and the GnuCash data file format.  Maybe
somebody's got some of that experience and can offer suggestions.....
