I don't have a strong opinion on this one, mildly preferring the shorter
one only because it is shorter.

Steve? Can you comment on this one way or the other?

I'll rename it to whatever you like. I'd suggest "ref=". The reason I
think it is important is there are multiple sources that aren't always
obvious from the other records to which it is associated. In the case
of ptrace and signals, there can be many target tasks listed (OBJ_PID)
with no other way to distinguish the matching audit container identifier
records all for one event. This is in addition to the default syscall
container identifier record. I'm not currently happy with the text
content to link the two, but that should be solvable (most obvious is
taret PID). Throwing away this information seems shortsighted.
