this is more a general accounting question than a beancount-specific
one, but is it more common to use Equity:* for rounding errors than
appropriate Income/Expenses subcategories? What bothers me about using
Equity is that then you won't see the "impact" of the rounding error
when you just look at income/expenses over a given period of time (which
I often do). But maybe I'm missing something about why Equity is better
in these cases...
