Rainer, I agree that 3164 is only really valid with respect to the <PRI>. When we implemented it in Kiwi Syslog we found no device actually used the 3164 format exactly. Sometimes the hostname was there, sometimes not. Having to write parsing code to work out if a hostname was actually a TAG or not was a huge processing overhead. We now disable 3164 parsing by default.
