  Gnucash IS ordinary, run of the mill, double entry accounting software

There is little to learn for anybody familiar with double entry 
bookkeeping (and that IS standard for accounting, has been for a VERY 
long time)

If you mean "differences from other applications that are NOT standard 
accounting" why should that be necessary. Shouldn't simply saying that 
gnucash is "double entry bookkeeping" enough? The documentation DOES 
make that clear. Not up to gnucash to point out that non-double entry 
isn't standard accounting.
