RE: Logging per generation process
Jeremias, I totally agree with you, the information level for an end-user should be different from the logging information. I am certainly looking forward to a solution with a Future like approach where the information from the process can be obtained after processing has taken place using the FormattingResults object. In the meantime I have a solution for our multithreaded application using a ThreadLocal...iow the pressure is off and the app can go into production. I would love to help, but know that I can't give that commitment.

A ThreadLocal is certainly a possibility especially as long as we don't do multi-threaded processing. However, my ideas go in a different direction as described on the Wiki. The important thing for me is to differentiate between feedback for developers (logging as we have today) and for users (specific feedback per processing run). I'm not so much interested in log output during production. I can still catch configuration or runtime errors and such using the log but for that I don't need per-document logging. Rather I want precise information on certain events (like an area overflow or a missing image) during processing that can be presented to a not-so-technical user possibly even in his native language. In the meantime the priority of this has gone up a little although I still can't tell when exactly we'll have something in this area.
