The source code of the PDF document is still in our SVN, see here
http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/browser/gnucash/trunk/src/doc/design

However, 6 years ago I added the following paragraph to any section:

To answer your question: No, it is not relevant enough anymore.

(On the other hand, parts of the described structure are frightening similar 
to today's structure, so there might still be some value in its 
description...)
