I just changed the names/numbers of a couple of accounts in my CoA.
Internally SQL Ledger uses a unique integer id to identify accounts so
changing the name/number really doesn't change anything.

I'm not sure that changing tax account numbers is wise though. I think
changing a tax account number would only cause harm to transactions that
are in progress when the account number is changed. I haven't really
thought that out completely though.
