I was thinking more along the lines of the way archiving works already,
but instead of moving the whole heading, a copy of the heading plus the
old logs would be made in the archive file, and the old logs would be
deleted from the original file, i.e.

gtd.org:

,-----------------------------------------------------------------
| * Make tea
|   :LOGBOOK:
|   CLOCK: [2012-08-24 Fri 13:05]--[2012-08-24 Fri 13:40] =>  0:35
|   :END:
|   :OLDLOGS:
|   CLOCK: [2011-12-23 Fri 12:45]--[2011-12-23 Fri 13:16] =>  0:31
|   :END:
`-----------------------------------------------------------------
 
would become

gtd.org:

,-----------------------------------------------------------------
| * Make tea
|   :LOGBOOK:
|   CLOCK: [2012-08-24 Fri 13:05]--[2012-08-24 Fri 13:40] =>  0:35
|   :END:
`-----------------------------------------------------------------

gtd.org_archive:
  
,-----------------------------------------------------------------
| * Make tea
|   :OLDLOGS:
|   CLOCK: [2011-12-23 Fri 12:45]--[2011-12-23 Fri 13:16] =>  0:31
|   :END:
