The whole point of storing history is ability for clients to explicitly query it (and sometimes manipulate it), isn't it?

You can query a history table.

Not if "client only needs to know about the entity table"

So If you need to give history access to your client I guess you can put up a "entity_history" function that will generate a snapshot entity table from his request and the log table.

It all depend on your need, RDMS schema are customely build to meet customers needs, I don't believe in proverbial Swiss knife tool anymore.
