+1 !

No need to put too much info, all we need is a CLEAR way to tell which  
name is Display and which name is User, so that the reader won't be  
confused if they are attentive enough. I don't see any good reason for  
the change of the chat log format if the current format can hold the  
info we need already.

It would be best if older viewers could read newer chatlogs without  
much loss in final readability. LLSD would definitely not permit that.
