I agree with pretty much all of that. One question I have though is
what you think you'd use the user-agent for?

I'd also suggest adding a field that indicates whether the request
errored out somehow (as far as the SP is concerned). The error itself
can still be in the normal shibd log, but just a T/F indicator in the
audit log would help with reporting.
