I think the difference is that every editing must be displayed and be formally correct. its more that that entries that are made shouldnt be removable How this is solved under the hood is another question. > Also, from an implementation point of view it's not clear to me which > kind of editing should be allowed for transactions that contain one > split in an inalterable account and another one in an editable > account.

I think from the acounting perspective every entry consists on som field like the date, the accounts, some text,... I also dont think a mix of inalterable accounts and alterable accounts makes much sense because every entry has two ends, so if one end is inalterable the other one has to be, too. I have the strong feeling that different views would help. So that one can look at all without correcting entries. My guess is that it would be better if all new files where made in the same way but that the view could be changed (default view / strict accounting view or so).
