There is no reason to resend the same data for every attestation, nor is there any reason to store already attested measurements anywhere on the client. By versioning the log file names, userspace gets a simple way to know what has and has not been attested, and for small embedded devices we don't need to waste memory or filesystem space on the data already attested.
Yes ... no. There isn't any reason to resend measurements that a verifier has already received. In fact, the logic I coded also said "if PCR 10 didn't change, there's no need to even ask for the measurement log". However, don't you have to save already attested measurements for the case where there are multiple verifiers? A different verifier would have to receive all measurements.
