comparing record ids in auparse

In the functions auparse_timestamp_compare() and events_are_equal() the host field is not checked, is that by design or omission? Should two different events from two different hosts be comparable? On a side note, the use of the term timestamp in symbol names like auparse_timestamp_compare() seems misleading because the item in question is not really a timestamp, rather its an event identifier which contains some time information. Are we too far down the road to call this object an 'event_id'? -- John Dennis <jdennis(a)redhat.com&gt;
