Well, if the log was XML an attached XSL stylesheet would be able to format it for general consumption in a web browser... Could even be potentially possible with LLSD since it is based in xml, but may be more difficult to make a good XSL document due to the fact that LLSD is not context-free. (The descriptor and content are sibling nodes. This caused me much headache many months ago!)
LLSD: Easy to export from the viewer, harder to make a solid XSL stylesheet (I may be wrong) XML: Harder to export from the viewer, potentially easier to make an XSL stylesheet, requires defining the new "markup language" for logs. With the XSL in place, the conventional textual logs could be done aways with as the new log format is viewable in a very user-friendly fashion by the user's favorite web browser. Could even be styled to look like the chat window, have filtering options powered by JavaScript, etc... Could be a good building block if done right.
