I disagree.  Not everyone that looks at the logs will be a site developer or 
Zope product or core developer.  Keeping things explicit is reasonable.

Keeping it simple is good, but I'd still like to see every logging subsystem 
in code that ships with the Zope 2 core start with "Zope."  This is a 
potential backwards compatibility issue, though, since log-trawling tools are 
already using the names currently generated, as inconsistent as they are.
