David's original proposal seemed to me to have a setting for the
default that either goes to the last date entered or the current date
globally and gave a usage case for that.  I think that is a proposal
worth discussing.

However, he also proposed having separate subsettings for order entry,
journal entries, invoices, ar/ap transactions and the like.  I don't
think anyone else in the community seems to think that is a good idea.
