Implemented, for example:
 
     logger --rfc5424 --sd-id zoo@123                \
                      --sd-param tiger=\"hungry\"    \
                      --sd-param zebra=\"running\"   \
                      --sd-id manager@123            \
                      --sd-param onMeeting=\"yes\"   \
                      "this is message"
    
produces:
  
     <13>1 2015-10-01T14:07:59.168662+02:00 ws kzak - - [timeQuality tzKnown="1" isSynced="1" syncAccuracy="218616"][zoo@123 tiger="hungry" zebra="running"][manager@123 onMeeting="yes"] this is message


The implementation also allows to specify standardized SD-ELEMENTs like
origin, meta and timeQuality (then build-in timeQuality is disabled).

It would be nice to test it against some advanced syslog.
