The only functions of "kind" are to display their values on the different 
reports (P&L and BS)? If so, it could be resolved by the merge of "kind" 
inside the "type" (IMHO).

On the issues discussion (4990), Jordi Esteve also wrote:

Maybe for an accountant it is not that hard. For me, it is super hard. Even 
so, I do not think it is a good idea, because in the accountancy books I am 
using on the translation I could not find any reference to this distinction 
between kind and type. Cedrik (I guess) said somewhere else that this 
distinction was exclusive to Tryton. Maybe it would be easier for us all if 
"kind" was made a part of type.

The word "kind" has also a semantic issue. After all,  "kind" is a synonym 
for "type", which makes the distinction artificial and counterintuitive. 
Let us see some translations found on Pootle:

Français --> Genre
Português do Brasil --> Natureza: I decided to use "natureza", but could 
well use "tipo" (as in Italian), "classe" (as in spanish or catalan), or 
even "gênero" (as in french).
Español --> Clase
Català --> Classe
Deustch --> Art
Italiano --> Tipo
