In order for us to map older syslog into the new -protocol, we should at least reference the existing facilities and levels that are mentioned in 3164. We need a cross reference table in the spec so we can map old to new and back again. Also, make note of how to map new to old. For example, if the new code does not directly map to an old value (via the cross reference table) it must be set to Local7.Info (or what ever).

I wonder if it would still make sense to mention the traditional facilities in -protocol. Same goes for severity, where we now also allow additional values. I would appreciate comments on this. For now, I will remove any references. This does not imply that I think they should be removed. I am actually half-half. If that is concensus will be that the traditional values should be mentioned, I'll move them back in either in -02 (if comments arrive before end of edit) or -03 (if not). Thanks, Rainer
