I haven't worked w/ the new upcoming log framework for my opinion to carry much weight, but it does look like a &log attribute might make more sense and simplify things for a script writer.

I don't really get why it has to be use-case specific and not a general way to convey to the logging framework that "only these record fields" are meant to be logged. Is it just a problem because it requires more verbosity in the case that all fields are meant to be logged (i.e. script writer might forget to add the &log attribute) ? Or is there an example you can give to explain what you mean?
