Dale,
Thanks for the simplification. I have incorporated this in the next
draft-ietf-netmod-syslog-model revision.
Regards,
Clyde

The algorithm in section 3 isn't clear to me (possibly because I'm not
very familiar with syslog in practice):
Selector processing (input is syslog message):
1. Loop through facility-list
a. Facility match processing - continue to the next entry in
the list if no match
b. Severity compare processing - continue to the next list
entry if no match
c. Match - proceed with the action and exit further processing
2. Process pattern match if specified and if a match proceed with
the action
If I understand correctly, a message is processed if it matches any one
element of facility-list OR the regexp. In that case, I think you could
it clearer by writing the pseudocode in a style that is more functional
than imperative:
A syslog message is processed if
there is an element of facility-list (F, S) where
the message facility matches F (if it is present)
and the message severity matches S (if it is present)
or the message text matches the pattern (if it is present)
