I am totally for this to save the awesome amount of typing and splits that go into my paycheck every month. Man, there must be 10 different things I'm paying for -- health insurance, taxes, social security, etc. -- it really slows me down to type in all those values -- and what really gets me is they are usually the same amounts every month! Even on months when they're off by a penny or two, having the split already entered would have done 99% of the work for me of opening up the split and manually typing in the accounts. It's nothing to correct the amounts. And yes, I remember Quicken (shudder) doing this for me, too, back when I had it.
For me, the whole game is time savings, and this is a prime area for time savings.

What if GnuCash used an online database of the Financial Institution (FI) configs, sort of like freedb database (1) does for CD's when you pop a CD in your computer? Instead of FreeDB, perhaps to one of the other community-driven OFX registries online (2), or our own we set up somewhere for ourselves?
That way, the 1st person entering a new FI would have to do it manually, but all subsequent GnuCash users, needing that FI after that could see it in a list of already-entered FI's which GnuCash would download on the fly right at that moment.
GnuCash would leverage the power of our community of users that way, and we could all be contributors and help each other out.
