After pondering your explanation a bit, I believe even though this feature
could have been for audit trail, in reality it never has been used this way
because e.g. there isn't any UI that would enable an audit evaluation. Also,
this hasn't been requested as a feature regularly.
Instead, regardless of the technical possibilities it has and is being used
merely as data recovery method. Because of this, I think it is sufficient to
continue using the transaction logging only for XML and for no other backend.
