Thanks, Remy.

Yes, and it lacks any kind of diagnostic context support.  Sure, I know I 
could build it on top of whatever log framework I end up using; but then I am 
writing a logging framework myself...

Yes, I know Ceki writes slf4j.  I had a dialog with him about adding this MDC 
support.

Have you seen cases of slf4j usage in Tomcat?
