One difficulty with logging to XML is that, strictly speaking, it's not possible. The document element cannot reliably be closed by the logging application. Practically, it should be simple to close the document element after log cutoff by just pasting the closing tag onto the end of the file before ingestion, but it's a minor weakness of the XML approach. I agree that flat-file representations of usage event data should be designed for general usability by a variety of tools. -- Mark H.
