On the Side note issue, I am all for that, using a "space" when "_" 
should be just makes for alot of unnecessary parsing exceptions to skip 
those lonely words.
Also, many audit records have what seems to me to be random symbols (ex. 
  , : ( ' ). If we get rid of those .. that would be great.

If that is something we want, I can create a patch to fix these 
oddities. I believe those messages come from kernel.. right?
Are there any that come from audit userspace?
