There no concept of accounts under another account with Swift. An external system could do head requests however desired. But yeah, that sort of thing is outside the core of Swift and more of a post processing thing. In the case of disk usage / object counts, access logs aren't used (ever tried to compute disk usage by access logs?) but 'account stats' are used, which is probably a bit beyond this discussion but can be thought of as logs Swift generates really.
