True, that reversal-only policy is the stated direction for LedgerSMB.
+1 for snapshotting lookup data into finalized documents such as invoices, and
providing a SP interface for data introspection and verification (*) only, no
modification (which was the intent all along, I believe).
(*) If there is any sensible way to digitally sign a finalized document (e.g. a
hash of the canonical plaintext or XML, YAML representation of an invoice),
that might be an interesting feature to users.
