I am sorry to jump into the middle of discussion, but I wanted to comment on that:
From my experience (and I wrote several logging solutions used in production) logging system is required to provide an explicit log level support. Any other solution is simply unacceptable. The same applies to keyword and category.
Could you please expand on the above, as I am not sure what you are trying to say.
IMO logging library is required to support trace entry filtering based on: 1. Log level DEBUG, WARNING, ... CRITICAL 2. Category program flow, data flow, arguments, e.t.c 3. Keyword Any subsystem of the end-user system could define unique keyword and trace entries should be marked by it. For example: "XMLparser", "SocketLib" e.t.c Gennadiy
