In addition to all the points you covered, you also have to figure
out what to do if the log medium fills up or fails. In a high security environment the only thing you can do is panic the system immediately, because (unaudited) bad things might already be happening. You also have to configure the system so it will not boot into multiuser mode if the log has failed. (And *then* you get to deal with clueless admins who will disable that feature in their desperation to get the system up and running, but that's not really a technical problem.)
