philosophical question about VOEvent

[Roy Williams]

 > So use "probability" in <Why> to report your "percentage measure of 
fit" and put the proper details of how likelihood was "factually 
measured" in the <What> section.

But my imaginary event author does not have a "probability" measure, 
that is the point! All he has is the chi-squared X.

I wonder if we can change the definition of the <What> section slightly, 
replacing this:
<What> was factually measured or observed to occur
by this:
<What> was factually measured or observed to occur, or other information 
relevant to the event,

It would make life much easier for the implementors of event services!
