Company I work for doesn't (yet) offer Roth 401(K). Can
some one explain what typical accounting is going to occur
when, after 1/1/2008, they do? I heard something about the
*company's* contribution need to be tracked seperately
because, unlike mine, there's some special handling or tax
issues on those dollars, and indeed, there's usually TWO
seperate components one has to keep track of (or, at least,
will have the 401(K) administrator keep track of).

I might be all wet here, as I said, I don't know.

Thanks!
