We have a couple cases now where a facility like Apache's HTTPD logging mechanism would be nice. Specifically where, when an "event" is logged, what is provided is just a map of values and no format string. Then the the individual configuring logging configures a formatting string that controls what actually gets written out to the log file.
>From an SLF4J API perspective, I think this probably just means trace/debug/info/warn/error methods that take a map instead of a format and set of objects. It may even possible to do the actual implementation by just creating an MDC, add all the map information, calling the current logging methods with an empty format string, and then clearing out MDC, or something like that.
