Yes. I imagine you have a better idea than me about what information 
needs to be stored and how it is handled. We should make it as generic 
as possible. I think it's possible that MacOSX would 'objectify' these 
kinds of events in the future (if they haven't already but not made it 
public), but I don't know how they will do that.
