I'm trying the Service provider approach (can't find the 'Service' class anywhere in the 1.3.1 docs, but that's a different issue...) by making an alternative impl of LogFactory and putting the proper META-INF/services path in the jar. I still can't see how classpath order for alternate LogFactory impls isn't going to be a problem with something canonical like Digester or other commons components, but at this point I trust that y'all have thought this through and I just need to go convince myself. Still seems like magic, but we all know what Arthur C Clark said about magic..
