Jake, what do you mean by "need to clutter the interface with loggers"? 
What interface, that of POJOs? Anyway, I still do not have the required 
understanding of IOC frameworks to judge whether loggers should be managed 
by IOC. I am at a stage where I can make seemingly relevant noises about 
the subject without really understanding it. As such, please consider the 
comments in my previous message as guesswork.

As for slf4j, it still has a long way to go before being widely adopted. 
It's just at the beginning of a long road.
