This suggestion is well overdue for an update!
Support for updating the chart of the accounts was released back on the 4th of May.
We also have the Setup endpoint for the bulk creation of chart of accounts. See the conversions guide for more details on that http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api-guides/conversions/.
The only outstanding functionality is to be able to update bank accounts. I’ve created another post to track demand for that specific feature:

Show AccountID in LineItem in Invoices API
Include AccountID in LineItem in Invoices API.
Currently only AccountCode is shown in LineItems. Absence of AccountID renders cached invoices invalid when account's code is changed. Moreover, there is no guaranteed method to determine whether cached invoice became invalid.
After modification of account code certain cached invoices may have outdated account codes pointing to non-existent accounts. Or, what a horror, to different existing accounts, if previously-used account code was recycled.

Differentiate Bank and Credit Card Account
The very well managed Xero API just made us surprised that there is no concrete way to differentiate a Credit Card and a bank account. They both are under account type Asset. Based on number of digits in the account number could not be an ideal way to differentiate these two. Requesting to provide a flag so that API users can credit or debit the amount to create Balance sheet.
4 votesI’m pleased to announce that the Accounts endpoint now returns a element that allows you to differentiate between credit card, Paypal and regular bank accounts.
The update was release on September 1st http://developer.xero.com/documentation/api/v2-release-notes/#2.142
