I think there's a better way to look at this-- You should try to
provide a single, excellent, XML output for machine consumption. It
doesn't have to slavishly imitate the human-oriented output, just
provide a superset of the information the human UI provides. For
example, it could always include file-ids.

Long logs? It's an inventory thing. Anything to do with logs would be
most unwelcome.
