I've seen it beeing discussed here to introduce strict verification of
account names. I think it may by very handy, however, I think another
approach may be usefull too: a predefined branches. One can define
several branches of arbitrary depth and every posting must be on one of
them. Eg.

Defined branches

Income:Salary
Income:Iterest
Expenses:Rent
Expenses:Food:Groceries
Expenses:Food:Dining
etc.

Now account names in postings must begin with one of the defined
branches:

Income:Salary:Small Co.
Income:Salary:World Corp.

are both correct

But

Expenses:Rant:Flower St.
         ^^^
is not. One can introduce new accounts only below strictly defined
structure.
