You commented on logging before, and I saw this in email, but the comment here has vanished now since the file has changed. I wonder where it could be found (not so good if some comments vanish from sight; after all one could also turn email notifications off). So if I miss some comment, please remind me.

So re logging: we have a standard way to do this, using final static loggers per class, based on SLF4J. You can see examples e.g. in WmfDumpFileManager.java
