I noticed this, and had been wondering if I should comment.

I don't think it's a technical problem, but did wonder if it might be source of 
confusion (events being described somewhat differently across the two 
documents).  I think I had previously suggested that events might be defined 
explicitly in DM, making them easier to talk about, and reference in (say) the 
ontology, but I'm not sure offhand if that opens a different can of worms.
