My feeling as well. However, we will eventually want to coalesce around
some best practices and make it easy and robust for "typical" cases.

That sounds like a good way to start. Actually, even before the tool,
how about just some really good examples of triggers for specific kinds
of audit logs, and some ways to run queries on them? I think that might
settle a lot of these details.
