I bot is allright, including one that does exports its logs for the web. 
I don't think it is best for highlighting a particular conversation
though. Or tagging it with something useful. Regardless how beautified
it is it will remain a kind of a time-line. What I had in mind is more
about extracting from the log really useful conversations. 

Personally, I do have an 'ideological' problem with logging everything,
it smells too much as surveillance, and while this is definitely
paranoid I would prefer a somewhat more discriminating solution.

There are plenty of bot code out there. We could use venerable code from
the irc wars, or stuff like your Coldfusion code, or any other
language. 

What should it do is more important. Bridging to xmpp is an option as
well.
