The PostgreSQL WAL log stores information on the level of "write these 
bytes to disk", the MySQL replication log stores information on the 
level of "user called this statement".  So in MySQL, inserting the 
value of now() into a table might give different results if a slave 
runs in a different time zone.  So it's sort of the same from the 
outside, but the internals are different and yield different 
possibilities and restrictions.
