Well, not the direction for the future.  But it is here and now, CLI/syslog
trumps everything else.  XMLCONF is attempting to structure the first task
(CLI), and with adequate data model in next phase, we can structure the next
task (trap/syslog).

HI,

Syslog... Let's see, the payload of syslog messages is unstructured
text, and there is no standard for them. And there is no standard
for documenting the payload. Or did I miss this. (If so, please
send me a URL or two). So you are saying that completely unstructured
and undocumented text is the direction for the future?
