supporting logging over a network.

Marshal Rose submitted RFC3195[1] to the IETF for a syslog protocol. The
specification is defined as a profile on top of the BEEP framework. The
format of the messages are encoded in XML. Here is an example of an "entry"
element.
C: <entry facility='8' severity='6'
C: hostname='pipeworks'
C: timestamp='Oct 31 23:59:59'
