Being in support and not in the real world, I never backup my logical logs and I have no problems restoring level 0 archives and not rolling logs forward. The only time that you need to keep logical logs is if you are using onarchive and you don't archive all your dbspaces in one dbspace set and you plan on doing partial restores...in that case you do need to save all the logical log files or your chunks will be PI and your dbspace disabled. But using ontape you should be able to restore a level 0 and not have saved any logical logs and come online with out problems.
