I expect you see the information found in the <NAME> elements in KMyMoney. The 
OFX spec states:

  <NAME> Name of payee or description of transaction, A-32

where A-32 means a character field of 32 characters (not bytes).

In fact, it would allow not only the name but also a description of the 
transaction (which seems to happen in your case). But there is no indication 
if its used for a name or a description.

What would be the algorithm for KMyMoney to detect the usage? An option on a 
per file basis is not feasible as the field could be used in different ways in 
the same file. I am not sure if an option per account would work, as you could 
also imagine two transactions in the same account in the same statement where 
this field is used in both ways.

So I don't really have a clue what to do. Any additional ideas?
