Oh yeah! Mandatory XML logging = FAIL. Think of a firewall logging at
10,000 events/second in XML - this will never work, no matter how much
hardware improves.

Name=value pairs is probably the main CEE syntax that will get used as
it is adopted. So in that sense, CEE would be the same as CEF, but not
tied to a particular vendor.
