Right.  The QIF importer and the OFX importer are just different pieces
of code.  The QIF importer is a bit fuzzy, but relatively literal, while
the OFX importer utilizes bayesian matching.

It is a known issue that the QIF importer should use the bayesian
importing code.

Not until the QIF importer is re-written as above.

That's just the way it was developed.
