Whilst I can see the real benefit of these in the Cocoon context you
described, I wonder whether these levels are only really apparent in
hindsight, and whether many writing specialist Cocoon Transformers would
see Cocoon as INFRASTRUCTURE.
How about providing mechanisms for displaying different levels of
debugging output based on the package hierarchy so that you can do things
like: "Display only WARN messages or above for org.apache.avalon.*, but
all levels for everything else". If necessary an extra "DETAIL" /
"LOW_LEVEL_DEBUG" or equivalent level could be added as well, though I
sometimes wonder weather "DEBUG" is currently over used and "INFO" under
used.
Just my thoughts,
Stuart.
