Martin,

An excellent topic. Standardization is always good and welcome. I've got a couple of comments.

1) The default should be the minimal amount of information. This is because I believe there is a limit somewhere on how much information can be buffered. I know that sometimes when I turn on a lot of verbose statements from drivers I get an overflow message from the kernel about some messages being lost. I'm not sure what the limit is, but I know I've seen it before. 

2) As this information is scrolling across the screen, it should take up the minimum number of lines. So I would have the 2 line info message condensed into 1.
