The line-item dates are only seen from the invoice itself, never the
CoA.  The opening date also is just in the invoice.  The post date is
also the date on the transaction.

Maybe..  The problem is that you'd need to keep the original posting
out of the CoA until it's paid, but then you never actually see the
fact that the invoice is posted.  Catch-22.
