That is exactly the role of a logging implementation (logkit etc.) it takes
care of that.
By that argument, if fop is to work with velocity we should have an
interface that can use fop's logging interface or velocity. Then each of
those two interfaces will interface to logkit, log4j etc. Then logkit and
log4j have there own mechanism for directing output etc.
So instead we can simply say that fop uses logkit.
If you want to direct the logging to somewhere else (log4j, your own system
etc.) then you need to create a target for logkit that does that for you.
After all fop needs _a_ logging implementation.
