Yes :)
However, we may be able to do a bit better, even with OVAL if we
consider that the Rules:

Ensure Log Files Are Owned By Appropriate Group         unknown
Ensure System Log Files Have Correct Permissions        unknown

may be reformulated to:
Ensure Log Files Are stored in /var/log                 pass (if lucky)

...and I believe OVAL is capable of checking for this.

Other, existing checks for permissions on all files in /var/log should
then ensure that a non-compliant system will fail.

So I ask the group: storing all log files in /var/log is a stronger
requirement, but is this a problem?

(Really, the Rule for having a separate partition for /var/log is
already sort of assuming that we're doing this...)
