I agree with your proposal. I think these other account types should  
be enabled for selection just like the original types.

I think it is one of gnucash's biggest strengths to not enforce a  
particular way of setting up the books on the user. As you (Valdis)  
and others have pointed out repeatedly, this flexibility in how to use  
the program is the biggest reason for accounts to like our project.  
For that reason I think even in places like this feature we should  
stick to the flexible solution and not force a particular account  
setup on the user. This means we should allow as many account types as  
possible here, but at least A/R in addition to the current A/P.

I don't think there should be a preference for this. Just allow the  
other account types and that's it.

Feel free to file a bugzilla item which refers to the discussion here.
