Things to do (was RE: Acorn Progress)

Paul,

3 things come to mind immediately.

- Implement support for logging event properties in XMLLayout &
PatternLayout, similar to the changes you made for MDC.
- The MDC changes in XMLLayout and PatternLayout still have some open issues
(primarily with the test cases) which are mentioned in the bug (I forget the
bug number).
- If you would like to review the Plugin/PluginRegistry/Receiver
code/design, I would appreciate a second pair of eyes. I (really) need to
start the watchdog stuff, which is again going to use the plugin base.

I'm sure there is more stuff to do.  Ceki?
