like to consider it. The pre-requisites are it has to be backward compatible,
it has to handle unicode, it has to handle fields with odd characters.
I have thought for some time now that the kernel would do better to
produce binary records. This would have many advantages, including:
* Very simple parsing
* Much faster to parse
* Faster to produce
* Much easier to specify
The production of text would then be the problem of the audit daemon. If
the current text based nightmare were frozen, they could even live
side-by-side.
