John--
 
Thanks for the clarification. I clearly didn't understand that you were pushing the discussion forward. Sorry.

David,

Sorry, I should have pointed to
http://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2011-December/042154.html
instead of the whole thread, wherein Martin *does* explain why he doesn't handle brokerage accounts. Short answer, he doesn't know how. David Reiser's followup suggests that he thinks (after looking through the AqBanking code) that it's not so much an AqBanking issue as an interface issue between it and Gnucash, and that someone with the time and deep knowledge of both could probably get it working. ISTM that's what Paul is looking for.
