Can you provide the URL link to the IETF standard on IDS Logging.

The standard has taken so long to produce, the industry has already shifted
focus to IPS and flow-analysis that exceed the initial design considerations
of IDMEF. On top of that, an entirely new field of log aggregators partnering
with IDS vendors have already superceded the need for a standard IDS logging
format.

It's certainly a hard problem (look how far IDMEF came from CIDF) and it
makes a lot of important points, but it seems to be the answer to a question
nobody asked.

full-disclosure: I am *not* a vendor :)
