Yeah, but generally this is something I could see opening up. The log
structure is pretty straight-forward and self-describing, it'd be
mostly a matter of clean up and documentation to make that directly
accessible to external consumers I think. Events, on the other hands,
are semantically tied very closely to the scripts generating them, and
also much more diverse so that self-description doesn't really seem
feasible/useful. Republishing a relevant subset certainly sounds
better for that; or, if it's really a bulk feed that's desired, some
out-of-band mechanism to convey the schema information somehow.
