I wonder why JSON couldn't be used instead of a binary format. It's structured, easily understandable, and can still be processed with tools (sure, maybe simple grep, sed, and awk are out, but I can't imagine there aren't already perl tools for doing XPath/XQuery-like on JSON files yet).

Binary data, which is one of the needs for logging certain system events.

It can't be escaped in some way? Sure, it bloats the logs, but is it so common as to make *everything* binary? I like keeping exceptional cases exceptional, not reworking things to accomodate all possibilities as if they had equal chances of occurring.
