OFX question

Hi,

I'm curious about how OFX is better than QIF.  I'm well aware of how 
QIF falls short, but I know nothing of OFX.  For importing QIF files 
into Gnucash, I've written a pretty lengthy perl program which 
extensively massages the QIF data prior to import.  As a result, I 
get almost everything into Gnucash the way it's meant to be.

With the OFX import though, I seem to have been lead to believe that 
this won't be necessary, and that Gnucash will be able to figure out 
which transactions belong in which accounts automatically.

Is that correct, or am I hallucinating :)  Can some one provide me a 
link to some write-up on how OFX will make my life better :)

Thanks,
