I saw that -- my point is that *default* behaviour should be to go on no matter what is wrong.
I second that (and, if that were is possible in English, I'd third and forth that). Logging must not fail until the machine crumbles to dust.
Especially: No message must be lost.
I know that is not really possible, but providing a very high level of certainty that messages do not get lost is of extreme importance.
IMO, if a message must be lost the library must be able to log this fact, otherwise the user can not be confident with the log. Of course, if recod_id are used, there is no need to add an alert log. Best, Vicente
