I have restricted funds in my personal accounts, and I thought the
"correct" way to deal with this was Asset subaccounts. For several reasons,
this was unsatisfactory, and pushed me to the discovery of using a
liability to represent the encumbrances. I always thought it was hacky
because that's not what others said to do, but it solved a number of issues
for me very nicely.

My question: can you say more about using a liability (rather than asset
subaccounts) for restricted funds? Perhaps a link or two, or (ideally) a
reference to some gaap? That would be excellent!
