The call to SetParameter (XmlHierarchyConfigurator.cs:185) in the foreach loop
inside the Configure method could be replaced with a call to
ParseUnknownElement:
protected virtual ParseUnknownElement(XmlElement xmlElement, Hierarchy
hierarchy)
{
SetParameter(xmlElement, hierarchy);
}
to match ParseLogger, ParseRenderer, etc. That would allow you do extend
XmlHierarchyConfigurator and do custom processing on user defined top level
elements. The default behavior of calling SetParameter would remain the same.

Subject: Re: XmlHierarchyConfigurator
Well, i want to add recognition of my specific elements in hierarchy
configuration, similar to <logger>.
And this elements can contain <appender-ref> elements (just as logger do)
with reference to some appender - so, i can't use default capabilities of
SetParameter - there can't be sutable add-method for "appender-ref".
