One other thing to consider is that in order to get information from the 
server, you have to be logged on, and if you're logged on, you'll also 
get messages about what's happening currently: avatars moving around, 
objects responding to scripts being run, etc.  Somehow you have to 
distinguish between live events and recorded events.

And then, there's packet loss. :-)

Nevertheless, I encourage you to try it.  I think it would be great for 
machinima.  Oh, while you're at it, can you add a feature to scrape the 
timeline? :-)
