Michael's original message said

- all messages shall be reported through a single channel, including its 
reporting level, and preferrably its origin too
- setting a message reporting level shall apply to all elements in a uniform way

I think this is an admirable set of requirements in itself, especially 
but not exclusively for the more distributed systems we are imagining.  
It addresses channels and messages in them, not destinations. Pretty 
general stuff.

Certainly syslog is one possible destination for messages (based on 
reporting level, say) but it isn't not the only one. Perhaps as 
important as asking "what problem does this architecture solve," Chris, 
it is important to ask "what usage pattern would this architecture exclude?"
