I'm trying to figure out where in this chain the fields get assigned for a 
gnucash import.
Using aqbanking r1539, gwenhywfar r1457, and gnucash r17365, I get all of my 
transaction descriptions showing up in gnucash as "Unspecified" for imports 
from a credit card company.

Imports using libofx had the behavior that if both <NAME> and <MEMO> ofx fields 
were populated in the import file/data stream, gnucash recognized the <NAME> as 
the transaction description and <MEMO> as the transaction split memo. Libofx 
also put a concatentated collection of things in gnucash's transaction Notes 
field.

If there was only one of the <NAME> or <MEMO> fields populated, then the one 
that existed showed up as the transaction Description with nothing in the split 
memo. Aqbanking2 changed that null split memo to "Account Unknown Bank 
Unknown", but it would still give me something useful in the transaction 
Description.

The latest aqbanking3 + latest gnucash svn give me imported transactions with 
every description = "Unspecified". The description should contain either the 
merchant involved in a credit card or checking transaction or the transaction 
description assigned by the financial institution for things like fees.

Among my financial institutions, one bank supplies both <NAME> and <MEMO> in 
their ofx files, one of the credit card companies supplies only <NAME>, and my 
primary investment broker supplies only <MEMO>. I haven't checked other 
financial institutions yet.
