What I was trying to say is that the spec is inconsitant and incomplete.
The example given in the spec is invalid according to the best guess one
can make from other parts of the spec and is completely inconsitant with
ExLF formats used by any current server. There is no reason the example
should work, and it doesn't.
You said that you had a log file from IIS that didn't work

which lead you to read the spec. I was asking what that log file has in
it.
I think Stephen Turner is being too strict when he says:

Summary <http://summary.net/summary> will read Microsoft IIS logs with
the date only in the header, and it shouldn't be too difficult to get
Analog to read them as well, although it will require code changes and
not just a configuration file. I wasn't sure, from your original message,
if that was the problem you were having.
