Ensure user freedom for Javascript.

The fundamental point here probably goes without saying given who the
project leader is. ;)

The LibreJS thing may end up to be nice-to-have. LibreJS has some
serious problems -- I've had difficulty getting websites to work with
the plugin because the LibreJS plugin makes overly simplistic
assumptions about how Javascript is often deployed on a website.

But, we should try to be compatible if it's possible.

# Tracking Income Type

As a 501(c)(3) non-profit manager, I need to track various income types.
Specifically, there are three types of income that can be generated:

  * Grants and donations
  * Related Business Income (RBI)
  * [Unrelated Business Taxable Income (UBTI)](http://www.irs.gov/Charities-&-Non-Profits/Unrelated-Business-Income-Defined)

Sometimes, these income types may go to the same account.  For example, a
conference sponsorship may generate some amount of UBTI if some amount of
advertising was part of the sponsorship.  Thus, this categorization should
not be encoded into the account name, but is rather meta-data about specific
transactions.
