Yoav,
That would certainly work, but it will force developers to make an additional call before each logging call (to set the MDC value). Also, as I understand MDC, it is intended for values remaining relatively constant across interleaved logging calls in a given thread. The value of MDC (as you of course know) is its values are retained across calls on a given thread and child threads. My group is facing similar questions, and I'm somewhat torn on which approach to take. We have values foreign to Log4j we want to get into the log but they change on every logging call. I wasn't too thrilled attacking such requirements with MDC ... although admittedly it will certainly work.

You wouldn't have to extend any classes then.
