Is he though?

There is surely a difference between where an "Undo" would happen
during an invocation of  GnuCash, ie within the "GnuCash Engine",
currently, I believe, still a set of in-memory structs, and where one
would choose to keep one's data between invocations of  GnuCash.

So one would have to have compile/install against a database just to
be able to use GnuCash at all? Or not?

And the storing of information between invocations of GnuCash is
not static and so not an area where XML works great ?
