First, I don't understand _why_ the standard should specify this. Any
reason it could not be up to the implementations?

Second, if the standard specified how the logging functions should be
implemented, it would no longer be possible with alternative
implementations for e.g. sending the messages to the X console.

So I think this proposed change is a step in the wrong direction.


I guess, allthough many people here may have an interest, it is getting
out of the scope of OCF. Are there any LSB specific mailinglists that
one should subscribe to to keep track of things like this? Or is
bugzilla the recommended communication medium?
