Yes and no. DynamicThresholdFilter, MapFilter, StructuredDataFilter,
ThreadContextMapFilter and MapRewritePolicy all can be configured with
KeyValuePairs but not under a subordinate XML element. To do the above you
would have to create a new MDCFields plugin to contain the KeyValuePairs and
then have the layout get them from that container object. Normally they are
just accepted as an array of key value pairs but I think it would look odd in
the configuration to have a list of KeyValuePair elements under the layout
without the container.
You can look at the Appenders plugin to see an example of a Plugin that is
nothing but a container of an array. It returns a Map to its parent.

> We'd really like to see the logger and/or location be included in RFC-5424
