1. Drop path and combine it into a single entry, logfile? True, this
is a file relative to the source of the message and won't always be
applicable e.g. to devices without any storage capabilities. Or it
could use a UNC pathname.

2. Added Category, a string field that can be used to group debug
messages together.

3. Perhaps move the log file items to a separate block as this means
multiple debug messages can be transmitted in the one block, but all
logged to the same file? Or maybe they go to separate files so that
isn't appropriate? Perhaps an overriding log file block e.g.

Debug.Log
{
File=<path to log file on device>
}

This applies to the entire message unless the individual item
specifies a separate entry.

Way more complicated than is perhaps required.
