Frédéric, thanks for initiating this topic!

Perhaps it would be useful to coordinate/summarize the comments on a pad?
I took the liberty to copy/paste the current discussion here, so you can add
further comments in it:
  http://pad.openerp.com/p/accounting-constraints

As soon as we reach a general agreement on the constraints that should be
formalized and the way to do that, we will help review the code and land a
merge to include them in OpenERP 7.0 (extra modules needed for older versions).

It would be best to keep the topic very focused on the extra accounting
constraints (no generic improvements) in order to reach a convergence soon.

On a related note, we plan to organize community code sprints next month in
order to test OpenERP 7.0 and improve the automated test suite. It might be an
opportunity to add tests for some of the points mentioned in the current
discussion... (more on this will be posted soon)
