Another useful purpose is for accounts that are not necessarily forever 
obsolete but very rarely used and then only for special purposes. Being 
able to hide these saves recreating them each time they are again 
needed. Useful if you are otherwise including in the reports other 
accounts which happen to have a zero balance but you want them included 
anyway as they are of continuous interest (if you don't want reports to 
show ANY zero balance accounts you can specify that).

A couple examples might be useful? My two are "bank error" and 
"insurance reimbursement". Very rare to have a bank error not yet 
resolved at report time and hopefully one only rarely has casualty 
losses bringing insurance into play.
