Uh, what question?

IMO clearing/reconciling and download matching are somewhat orthogonal at least for most OFX imports because of the FITID. When an import includes FITID fields then all splits without an online-id are legitimate candidates for matching. In the absence of FITID information I suppose that cleared or reconciled splits might reasonably be rejected, but if we were to adopt a scoring system as Chris suggests then perhaps being cleared or reconciled could be a score reduction rather than an outright exclusion.
