+        Ability to mark certain jopurnal entries as belonging to 
+        a 'class', so that expenses (or income) can be categorized
+        in more than one way.  For example, the expense of a trip
+        might include food, travel and lodging, and thus be spread over
+        three different expense accounts.  None-the-less, we want all
+        of these entries to be marked as being in the same class.
+        Note that classes can be particularly useful when used with
+        budgets.

+        <ul>
+        <li>place in the engine where split can be marked
