[Adium-devl] Status event wackiness

Recently, while working on XML logging, I ran into a really lame  
issue/bug. Here's the relevant work around for XML logging, and a  
ticket which describes some wackiness in the message view which I  
believe to be related.

http://trac.adiumx.com/changeset/16183 and http://trac.adiumx.com/ 
ticket/4226

To summarize, I'm of the opinion that our internal notification  
system sucks. A lot. Going forward, it's going to make implementing  
logging, especially the <event> tag, a pain in the ass. What should  
we do, if anything, to improve it? Augie suggested a central  
NotificationCenter for listObject status notifications. I think it  
would be nice to have categories of events. You could subscribe to  
that entire category and get all of the notifications in that category.

What do you guys think?
