Subject: Request for changes to the JSR47 API

I'm excited to see the addition of a logging API (JSR47), but I'm also very
concerned with the current design. My main issue is with the the lack of
interfaces which will create a significant problem for those of us who have
already invested considerable amount of time in the development around
existing logging applications and would like to leverage that existing code
with the new logging API. I sinceraly hope the JSR47 committee will
reconsider the design and place more emphasis on implementation flexibility
by adding interfaces for key classes.

Thanks you for your time.
