I should have been more specific, or there is another piece I do not understand. If I or Alexander provide our own Appender, they will be annotated with Log4j2 annotations. Today, yes, the XML is open-ended, but not per XML Schema. In my imaginary yet-to-be-implemented system, you would tell Log4j, at developement or build time of your app, to rebuild the metadata such that: (1) the normal config knows about my custom appender, and (2) I can generate a new XML Schema.
