The arguments given at the Log4J site
(http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/critique.html)
regarding JSR47 seem both cogent and telling.  In the absence of a
point-by-point refutation of these arguments, I urge you to reconsider
releasing JSR47 as the Java Logging standard. 

Log4J has been proven to work very well, is more featureful than the
proposed JSR47, and has significant developer mindshare.  It is time to
adopt it as the official Java Logging API.
