But if the transfers are from/to your brokerage cash clearing account,
there is no Income/Expense involved unless you add another layer of
indirection. Is that what you're talking about?

Quite possibly true. I'm definitely not sure I see how they're to be

ISRT that the actions are already dependent on the type of the
account. And though I think it might make sense to let the use
augment these types, we'll need some set of well defined types if we
want to have reports that work more or less "out of the box".
