I'd like to encourage everybody to take a look at
http://github.com/huxi/slf4j/tree/slf4j-redesign/slf4j-n-api/

Especially
http://github.com/huxi/slf4j/blob/slf4j-redesign/slf4j-n-api/src/main/java/org/slf4j/n/Logger.java

This patch would fix the following issues:
Bug #31
Bug #70
Bug #116
Bug #125
Bug #127
Bug #133
Bug #148 *
Bug #158

Further, the following Logback issues are addressed:
http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-32 *
( http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-45 )
http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-76 *
http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-107
http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-139 (and other MessageFormatter related
threading issues)
http://jira.qos.ch/browse/LBCLASSIC-163 *

The issues marked with * are somehow related to the desire to be able to extend
SLF5J/Logback with user-defined data. This prevented the conversion parameters
to Strings during event creation, since the arguments were the sole extension
point of SLF4J.
The new API does now support logging of Message implementations, which can be
used to support arbitrary data that is handled as a simple message by appenders
unaware of specific implementations but can be handled in a special way by
appenders that are aware of them (using instanceof WhateverMessage).
That same feature is also enabling the use of java.util.Formatter formatted
messages.

As a bonus, the current slf4j-api would remain unchanged so JDK 1.4 support
could be kept.

The code in that branch is operational but would obviously still need testing
and documentation. org.slf4j.a package isn't relevant and wouldn't be included,
at least not in that JAR.
The package org.slf4j.core could be put in a different JAR but this isn't
really necessary, I think.
