Thanks Mark -- I'll try OEM.
 
I thought I had read that same statement somewhere as well (thinking you can't 
always trust the docs)...thus this post...

That is not true.  I have mined many types of DDL, such as create user,
create table, create index, drop table, and so on.

To the OP: try using "oemapp lmviewer" for a handy GUI version of log
miner, if you want to avoid the hassle of the CLI when testing this for
yourself.  You are probably not following all the steps precisely as
required.

Also, from the standard docs:

"Performing post-auditing. The redo log files contain all the
information necessary to track any DML and DDL statements run on the
database, the order in which they were run, and who executed them."
