Thanks a lot for the explanations, that helps a lot!
I think one thing missing in the page-logging.xml dump is target of the action (page column?). It could be a child node with an id and a name, just like <contributor>. Right now, I can filter events that have been performed by a specific user, but not by actions that have been applied to a specific user.
Does that make sense?
For example, I guess that this page is http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Log using the logging table, and it provides a field "target". But if I'm not missing something, I can't do that with the current XML dump.

Yes, Special:Log is the front-end to query the logging table.
The target of the action is provided inside the <logtitle> tag. Note that actions upon users log the name with the User: namespace prefixed.
