And let's not forget that there are non-standard "syslog" implementations that were being used for decades before RFC3164 happened. Cisco devices and AIX are the first two big ones that come to mind. It's also worth mentioning that newlines are significant in TCP syslog (for batching log messages) but not in UDP syslog (because of frame size limits)
