No it will NOT,
Syslog-rfc* is (now) step by step, faraway by beeing 100% complice to
old implementations e.g. "long timestamp, DNS hostname, etc. This bit
will not change this.
Futher, I guess most implementation do not use the collon. It just
text for them! (The use PRI and "programname" only)
See you
BTW
I have got a quick look to yout presenation. But need more time to
give feedback. (But no error found) Like the "layer idea".
