in -currnet you can listen on any UDP port and have syslog send you stuff.

That doesn't give you what I described. What that does is give you
the messages that syslogd writes to /var/log/messages. This is a
subset of the messages sent to syslogd, and doesn't have the severity
levels, facilities, etc associated with them. There's no way for one
to connect to syslogd and dynamically filter the records that are
displayed. While adding such a facility wouldn't be that hard, it
does not exist today.
