managed if done carefully. I'm not sure if you've looked at Apple's extended syslog, which among other things, includes a binary log file format making it more mechanically searched and managed, do take a look if you haven't.
I read the asl man pages (http://developer.apple.com/DOCUMENTATION/Darwin/Reference/ManPages/man3/asl.3.html) because I am looking for an API to support the new fields in syslog-protocol. I liked the approach of adding different attributes to a message object, I think that would work well for structured data parametern. But the asl functions would have to be extended for syslog-protocol because they do not use namespaces for the key=value pairs.
The log storage and filter mechanisms are interesting, but IMHO out of scope for a basic syslogd. If desired one could probably write a small tool to use an indexed BDB for storage and attach it with a pipe to syslogd.
