Re: [log4perl-devel] Question

Yee, I think the answer is no, unless you're using an XML config file, 
in which case the parser should complain.

The properties-style files are so loosely structured that things that 
don't look like name/value lines simply don't trigger any actions.

I think properties files under java are going to have the same problems, 
but I don't have time to test them right now:
