I am +1 on the addition of a trace level.
(based on client demands).
There is also an issue concerning logging catagories. Catagories (child
loggers) are maintained as strong references - it would be very
desirable for catagories to be handled as weak references enabling
better garbage collection in situations where large numbers of
catagories are dynamcially created).
