It was done that way because the default is to show the banner, so 
'no disablebanner' would not be valid in global context. It just seemed
redundant to have a useless directive 'banner' at global context which
does nothing and require the additional 'no' keyword for anything to
take effect.

That said, it looks like the 'log' directive is implemented similar to
how you suggest, where logging is enabled by default and 'no log' would
be specified to disable it.

I don't hold any strong opinions on it either way.
