Completely unrelated to the technical question, I'd be suggesting 
letting people do what they please. My reason? Well I haven't really 
thought it through, but something that Gnucash doesn't enforce but 
probably should be available from a business perspective is the need to 
use correcting transactions rather than just changing a wrong transaction.
By this I mean that if, for example, an transaction was entered as being 
for $100 when it should have been entered for $90 then you should 
actually use a second transaction for -$10 to correct that, rather than 
just changing the $100 to $90. In a A/R and A/P sense, note that this is 
NOT a payment and should not be treated as such!
