Should slogging be provided by a web service?

There is the danger of getting a bit 'web service happy', but if service logging was provided by a web service then you could either centralize or distribute service logging as you see fit and the whole logging system could become a self contained entity. I guess it would lead to a lot of unnecessary traffic as requests are made to 'slog this for me please'. But then again the service making the request could get on with it's work while another gets on with the tedious job of writing log stuff out to a file system.
