Your document only talks about "action->no-match" in one place in the example. 
Has terminology changes over years and you forgot to update the example?

It is possible I am confused here.

I think you should clarify in the document what is the purpose of filename and 
say something about the above. I appreciate that this might not be needed for 
interoperability, but what you have in the document doesn't provide enough 
details to implement this aspect. Even saying that implementations can derive 
log specific filenames from the base one instead of saying nothing would be 
better.

Thank you,
Alexey
