/** specifies a component implementing a log handler whose output
    channel is the syslog network protocol.

    <p>The handler will use the <code>Encoding</code> attribute of <type>XLogHandler</type>
    to determine how to encode strings before actually writing them to the output
    file.</p>

    <p>The output is sent over UDP to the given Host and Port
    in RFC5424 format, in plaintext, with APPNAME "soffice" and facility USER.
    LogLevel::SEVERE becomes syslog's "error" severity, LogLevel::WARNING becomes syslog's
    "warning" severity, LogLevel::INFO and LogLevel::CONFIG become syslog's "notice"
    severity, and LogLevel::FINE and below become syslog's "debug" severity.</p>
