On the other ahnd there is also a new syslog RFC which uses ISO8601
timestamps (http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5424) and is implemented by
syslog-ng, rsyslog and NetBSD-current.
As with most major changes the format should be configurable and use the
old format as default. But in the long term I would expect the new
format to spread (maybe just because I use it on my logserver and
already changed my parsing tools).
