All the other existing account types in Gnucash besides income and expense 
actually are neither income nor expense accounts. The other account types are 
all some variant of an asset or liability (or equity) account. So by testing 
(member '(income expense)) you should be on the safe side. And anyway, new 
account types don't get added that often (IIRC none during the last 3 years), 
so you wouldn't need to worry too much about that.
