           Summary: A Marker does not have children, but secondary or sub-
                    markers.
           Product: SLF4J
           Version: 1.5.x
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: critical
          Priority: P1
         Component: Core API
        AssignedTo: dev at slf4j.org
        ReportedBy: listid at qos.ch


In the Tapestry project, Howard has created [1] a global marker called TAPESTRY
and other markers such as CLASS_TRANSFORMATION, EVENT_HANDLER_METHOD,
EVENT_DISPATCH and RENDER_COMMANDS. Logically, TAPESTRY is the parent of the
other 4 markers. However, since loggers use CLASS_TRANSFORMATION,
EVENT_HANDLER_METHOD, EVENT_DISPATCH and RENDER_COMMANDS as markers, adding
these 4 markers to the TAPESTRY marker does not lead anywhere. He would need to
add TAPESTRY to the other 4 markers.

We need to change the documentation so that the intent is clearer. We also need
to stop talking about child markers but about

- marker references, or
- secondary markers, or
- sub-markers, or
- even better name.
