Just the ability to select them all. The right way to think about selection is that you have a single table filled with postings. Attributes of transaction are replicated on their postings.
So how are you going to segment them out to aggregate in various ways? - You can use a subset of the account name - Tags are per transaction only; you can use a combination of accounts and tags I prefer using a part of the account name. That's all.
