That was more throwing ideas around than actual plans. We probably can't
even be sure the display names team was aware of that discussion.

That could be used for the XML serialization of LLSD. It looks like the
new log format uses the "notation serialization"
<http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LLSD#Notation_Serialization> (who came
up with that name?) of LLSD, which is more compact and supposed to be
more human readable as-is but probably difficult to format using
standard tools.

Yeah, the new format looks just as suited for appending as the old was.

What seems strange to me though: Why is a string used for the time,
rather than LLSD's date <http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/LLSD#date> type?
