From the tone of your note it seems that you have gotten the
impression that I was attacking your idea. I'm not. I'm just offering
my input and suggestions. I said "potentially confusing", not
"confusing".

Right, it's not printf. Perhaps %s isn't a good idea.. but a
plain % isn't very standard. some sort of thing similar to the
%{content-type}o stuff that is used in the LogFormat directive would
perhaps be useful. Settling on a standard for this sort of stuff and
being consistent is a good idea. A plain '%' isn't standard.

good point.
