FWIW, I find this version of the draft to be much improved.  A few comments:
- The yang module seems to have indentation issues.
- The log-entry-id key should receive a bit of documentation as to whether
  sequence number gaps are permitted. 

While I sympathize with Joel's point that "there are other systems that
provide logging, don't reinvent the wheel", being a relative newcomer to
yang myself I have to wonder if any of those systems provide for this type
of representation.

The usual pain point one has with syslog like services is the issues of
convoluted greps or other free-form parse to extract data from the stream
and the lack of structure.  Being able to know from day one that I can get
at this type of data using an XPath slice is very attractive.

If that kind of functionality is provided in other mechanisms, let's not
reinvent the wheel.  If it isn't, this wheel may be better.
