[logback-dev] RFC: LoggingEvent redesign

[Ralph Goers]

I'm -1 on this recommendation. SLF4J and Logback require messages to  
be Strings. I "cheat" in audit logging by passing a Map as one of the  
parameters. Although the Map can be serialized and deserialized the  
cost of doing that is very high when the Map is just being passed to a  
local Appender.  FWIW - I'm planning on adding this Auditing  
capability to XLogger in the near future.
