The only reasonable way: draw something "horrible" on the screen! 
Really, a xlog system will "xlogize" all it displays.

So a cartesian system in a xlog system will look like a xlog system. A 
polar system would look "xlogized" i.e. with a weird zoom in at the left 
end and zoom out at the right end.

If you put an xlog system inside the other, it would compose the 
transformations the same way: the left end will have way too much zoom 
in, and the right end too much zoom out. Most likely not very useful anyway.

Does this make sense to you?
