[sldev] Patch to Address Debit Permission Spoofing

[Chance Unknown]

At what point can we get a SURL on the accounting transaction web page
(including those that fail)? That way we can go delete items that are
persistent that make debits -- which have been lost to the world -- for
whatever reason? Then the rest of this conversation basically becomes
academic. I am capable to empty my account to L$0 and monitor for failed
transactions.

This is outside the scope of viewer related issues to color code or clarify
UI on what is ABOUT to happen. I would like remedy for something that has
ALREADY occured... Focus on the ability and tools to available to customers
to remedy issues that come about, and document that.
