I'll argue just a little more then shut up...

Sorry also for a late suggestion, but how'd we feel about adding some text like this to 1.1?

"An implementation, esp. a server, emitting a log file such as this

logging is happening, could fall afoul of regulatory requirements
to protect client data using state-of-the-art mechanisms."

I agree with Ekr.  That risk is not appreciably changed by the
existence of a definition for a file format.
I totally do consider our documenting this format increases
the risk that production systems have such logging enabled,
despite our saying "MUST NOT." So if there's a way to further
disincentivise doing that, by even obliquely referring to
potential negative consequences of doing so, then I'd be for
doing that. Hence my suggestion.
