unfortunately, JSR 47 seems to be incompatible with log4j (and probably
logkit too) :(
enforce use of JSR 47 and you solve nothing in terms of people wanting to
use log4j or logkit or whatever.
also JSR 47 is reasonably big (and possibly backward incompatible) and
then you get all those dependency arguments.
i was proposing a *very small* project which could be have a JSR 47
adapter but wouldn't be tied to any particular logging system.
