I'm going to add a contrary example as to why I create an imbalance split semi regularly in my books.  This is an easy way to keep the transaction balanced if you don't have all the information at the time you need when you add a transaction.  The common scenario for me is my paycheck.  Our

Until and unless some facility is provided to make general notes, this could be problematic if it applied to all accounts. Even then, some might specifically use the Imbalance or Orphan accounts for that purpose. Such a change would have to be communicated well to users. You wouldn’t want to
