I think you have this backwards -- I think it was that one budget
category should be able to apply to more than one account. I don't
recall hearing that a single account should be able to participate in
more than one budget, otherwise how would you know which budget
category applies to any particular transaction?
It's easy to sum together -- it's much harder to divide. ;)
I think a corellary of this (restate) requirement is that not every
account must be tied to a budget category.
