Hi All,
I've been reviewing the use of "enc" (for defining the encapsulation
type). This discussion has been going on for some time.

I know that several people would like a way to send binary data within
syslog messages and that's what this param was intended for. However,
without actually defining other encapsulation types, the parameter appears
to be underspecified. I don't want this to hold up our effort at this
time. I'm going to ask Rainer to remove references to "enc" from
syslog-protocol. Once this standard is out, others can discuss other
encapsulation types and put together a document that fully describes it
and how it can be used to ship binary information, or other encapsulation
types.
Thanks,
Chris
