There's a risk of reordering the messages if subsequent messages may
take different routes within the application (ie a different receiving
thread); even subsequent messages from the same application, if it is
not using TCP.
I wonder if syslog is expected to preserve message order. It could be
quite confusing...

Same potential for reordering here.
