ipsets are already supported.

Zones are security-oriented objects. So for uses which don't deal with
traffic authorization, zones aren't supported. Plus the cost of adding
zone support to one of the files is high.

Is it possible for zones to be introduced in "accounting"?

Possible, but I really don't want to do it.

No. When the file is sectioned, the default chain (when '-' appears in
the CHAIN column) are accountin, accountout, ....; but you can still
specify them explicitly if you choose.

I don't recommend an un-sectioned accounting file.
