We're getting a bit off track, but the issue with the "specification"
is that there has not been enough checking and enforcement of the
"specification" to give it much weight. We've made some fixes to
records of lower impact, but I'm not going to merge disruptive record
changes. After a while, the status-quo becomes the "specification".
At some point in the future I plan to submit patches which disconnect
the audit data from the record format for in-kernel callers; this is
really the only way we can enforce any type of record format. The
current in-kernel audit API is for too open for misuse and abuse.

Yes, my mistake, I suspect I was distracted by the comm logging.
