47    Logging API</a>. However, there are some differences, the major ones being:
48    <ul><li>There's no support (yet) for filtering log events.</li>
49        <li>There ain't no convenience menthods for logging.</li>
50        <li>There's no localization support.</li>
51        <li>Logger instances do not form a hierarchy.</li>
