[Lognorm] liblognorm default field names

Dear liblognorm fans,

we are currently trying to compile some sort of list for field names that
should be a standard in liblognorm. 
	
We already thought about a few. Like the following:
Src-ip = Source IP -> IPv4
Dst-ip = Destination IP -> IPv4

So this is not yet completely thought through. What we definitely need, is a
list of field names, that is most generic and definite. Like the examples
above. With the field name you already have some kind of description, like
the Source IP. It is directly clear what content it has and works for any
kind of message that contains this sort of information.

That is, why I want to ask everyone on the list to provide suggestions for
default fieldnames. We have compiled a list already and put it on the
website. Accepted suggestions will be put there. You can find the list here:

I want to ask one more thing: If someone has a striking and brilliant idea of
how to have this list sorted or best displayed and organized, feel free to
tell us. This will not only be good for us to have this list more accessible,
but this is a good contribution for the whole community.

Looking forward to all suggestions.

Florian
