I was going to have a go at implementing this inside xFx.

In the scheme of message context, does having the severity level
(info, warning, critical, fatal) in the block name have any advantages
for anyone?

It feels like data to me and not something that identifies the type of
block at all.

I can't see that the different severity levels would need different
message block formats to justify it?

Class = xAP.Debug

debug
{
severity={info, warning, critical, fatal}
description={summary}
detail={longer detail message}
logfile=
path=
}

Can anybody think of anything usefully unique for a xAP.Error class?
Or just reuse the above message block format?
