Thus, the main allotment would be one root budget, but the various grants and programs would each have their own, as they'd be coming from different purses (and thus have different codes at Accounts Payable). I think having this as the "top level" division will make generating a payment request file (our own, local, internal thing) so much easier.

yep, that was the idea behind this feature.
Sometimes, in France, libraries have a specific grant, for a specific 
event, during a short period of time.
Thus, the library will use 2 "root budgets" :
- "annual 2010 budget"
- "XXXX event budget, to spent between march and june"

good idea.
