If somebody has a better idea/code in hand when we start the 2.0 code, I'd 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.
