A feature of slf4j or java.util.logging. For your case I would prefer slf4j
and use x4juli in the backend.

No missing point, well thought.

I do not know the users/adminstrators and the environment of your
application. If you are using Ceki's approach (slf4j + log4j in the backend)
document well that one is not able to change the underlying log API because
of the NDC.
