How difficult would it be to add 'old state->new state' to the log on a change in the enforcing state? Currently, 'setenforce' appears to be logged as a toggle....

The kernel just audits the permission check, i.e. that setenforce permission was checked due to a change to the enforcing status. One could add an additional auxiliary audit data type to avc_audit_data and change the caller to supply the old and new states, but that would require a patch to the SELinux kernel module, and I'm not sure it is worthwhile. You can already have userspace receive notifications of enforcing status changes, including the new value via netlink socket messages; the userspace AVC in libselinux does this to detect changes in permissive/enforcing status.
