Hello Matthew and all others who responded. Problem with Syslog is that it sends logs as text messages. This has made many complacent and only sent the corresponding text in a text message stanza as well. However, using the same (or similar) semantics and create a well-defined XML element that can be sent in message stanzas (or pubsub if desired) sounds like a good idea.
Furthermore, I'd like to add a well-defined feature that can be found during service discovery. This would allow for zero-configuration networks, where devices automatically understand to whom it can send events. Anybody objects if I write a XEP proposal about this?

I'd love to see a simple one that primarily defines a way to transport log messages over XMPP (perhaps re-using syslog semantics). Regards, Matthew
