As far as I can tell, this forum has focused mainly on transport, performance, 
security and integrity issues. Indeed, these are all critical issues relative 
to audit, but is not audit record content just as important? If we spend all of 
our time managing the low-level transport issues, what does it avail us if only 
garbage is audited?

I've been working at the content level in an effort to standardize the record 
format. I've begun with the Open Group's XDAS standard as a baseline. The 
project is on sourceforge and it's called OpenXDAS. Back-end loggers are 
pluggable, and LAF is already supported on providing platforms.

Will some of you folks kindly take a few minutes of your time to look at the 
project and tell me what you think? I really want to make some traction here, 
and I think your good opinions are worth a lot. I'm open to suggestion, and 
would love to get some feedback.
