I agree with you Wige. Good post. However, your .htaccess directive is not going to work on every system. Again we get into configuration differences, whether .htaccess is available to the site owner, etc.

you must have access to your virtual host configuration because the CustomLog and LogFormat directives can’t be specified in the .htaccess file but only at server config or virtual host level.

I have tested your solution and received errors. I have not tested the solution mentioned in the quote above. But will do so.
The best solution is to have all log entries available, and use log analysis tools as mentioned by danlefree.
