Because we could add a number of the defaults as tags to the "old-style" call and at least indicate some additional formating. Those (developers) that don't really care about syslog will at least be provided some benefits. And if they care, it is not a big deal converting it... Having said this, we could even use the "old-style" call and just add one additional call to specify additional name/value pairs. How about this?
