John,
Sorry I was not sufficiently accurate, in my experience if not connected to
a vario or ASI XCS does not account for kinetic energy.
I do not know if it does if connected to a vario/asi.

Jacques,

You are mistaken, XCSoar takes kinetic energy into account if it knows the
airspeed (since total energy is with respect to the airmass not the ground).
