Logger logs as user.notice

Hi.
I have two questions regarding syslog & logger in inetutils package:


1. logger command seems to ignore -p option: it behaves as if 
"user.notice" were put always.

For instance:

$ cat /etc/syslog.conf
local3.*                /var/log/local3
user.notice                /var/log/user

$ net stop syslogd
$ net start syslogd
$ logger -p local3.info Some message

It writes the message in /var/log/user, instead of in /var/log/local3.
Am I doing something wrong?


2. A blank space is written between the tag and the colon in the output 
message.

For instance:

Oct 11 16:45:00 mymachine mytag : Some text         instead of:
Oct 11 16:45:00 mymachine mytag: Some text

Is it standard?

Thank you very much,
Jaime
