Using a chat frame as a log for addon?

I'm trying to re-use as much as I can within the UI and thinking about the ChatFrame as a way to log stuff about my addon.

My idea was to have a window available on the screen which keeps a record, that you can go back and look at throughout your play session.

I can't seem to find an easy way to make a new chat window with the settings I want? I've glanced through FloatingChatFrame and didn't see anything obvious, and nothing seems to be on the wikis. Is this just not a common thing to do?

One thought was I just give them an option to pick a chat frame for their log, going to default, and give instructions to make their own frame? Doesn't seem to user-friendly though.

Thanks for the brainstorming help.
