Seems quite reasonable, and very useful.

Of course I also look forward to being able to see deleted objects, but
I understand that is more difficult. To be truly useful you'd need to
be able to combine it with more-specific searches, I think.

I also understand the limitations on seeing history of personal data.
That would also be useful, so perhaps we could consider making that
available to authenticated users somehow in the future.

Anyway, looks very good!

Cheers,
