i believe niclas is approaching this from an application framework
perspective. most application frameworks provide some sort of logging
framework. many employ a hierarchical approach (so, for example instance
A is the child of instance B and so the logger for A is a child of the
logger for B). good support for this was missed by JCL.

but hopefully he'll jump in and correct any misunderstandings...
