[Jean Laroche]

Yep, I get it now and I agree. It's a current bug that the matching does 
not disregard transactions that have online-id.

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.
