Don't you mean exponent, not logarithm? I'm more used to seeing this concept as e, like 1e-10.
The primary trouble with this suggestion is this problem; most practical models will not be able to actually distinguish between 99.99th percentile events and 99.9999th percentile events, let alone 1-1e-10 quantile events.
"Logarithm" and "exponent" can name the same thing as viewed from different perspectives. Example: 3 is the base-10 logarithm of 1000, which is another way of saying that 10^3 = 1000 (an expression in which 3 is the exponent).
