They are.  You can get to them if you pay Oracle big bucks or have a back 
door.  It's how Quest/BMC and others can do redo log tools.

Alternatively, use the log miner utilities.  They are available to 
everyone and come with the software.   Worth a look and might just do 
what you want?

As I said, it cost them a bundle.
