I forgot to mention, that the Invoice, Item etc. objects could be used
as general Business::Accounting::Invoice etc. module - as they should be
generic. Also the fact that they are objects, would make them easier to
expand, without disrupting others who use earlier versions, or less of
their data/features :)
