XmlLogger without DOM tree

           Summary: XmlLogger without DOM tree
           Product: Ant
           Version: 1.5.1
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Enhancement
          Priority: Other
         Component: Other
        AssignedTo: ant-dev@jakarta.apache.org
        ReportedBy: patrick.lisser@canoo.com


In large projects and/or when debug level includes DEBUG (or more) the
DOM tree built up in the XmlLogger grows to an inacceptable size.

It seems as there are two reasons for building a DOM tree at all and
flushing it at the very end of the build:
- consumed time of the build, targets, and tasks is added as an attribute
  to the appropriate element. The same holds for exceptions.
- Concurrent log calls are traced back to where they belong.

The former can be changed by logging the time and exceptions not as attributes 
but as subelements. If necessary the result can easily be converted to the old 
style by applying XSL.
For the latter, unfortunately, I don't have any solution.
