I use ledger within org in the literate programming sense.  This allows
me to have different ledger entries all over the place under different
headings but can then use one src block to generate whatever I want,
either a balance or a register, say.

Yes, this is true.  It may be possible to change the output of ledger
(using --format, say) to something that babel could process into a
table.  However, I do find ledger a little clumsy in this regard but
maybe that's just the documentation.  

An extra complication is the big difference between ledger v2 and v3 in
terms of invoking it.  What version are you using?
