How would it have been handled differently? Why should it be handled differently if the interfaces are expected to evolve?

Wrapping is probably a better description, but would need to see the implementation. A wrapper implementation could certainly be provided separate from either the slf4j or log4j implementations. > > Thank you for this compromising proposal.

I'm all for reaching a consensus that makes sense. -Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
