Dave,

I don't think that event codes should be documented in an RFC. They
belong in the reference implementation documentation. They are specific
to the reference implementation but other implementations need to be
doing the own thing in this regard. I'm sure chrony doesn't use them,
for example. If the status words are standard then they belong in the RFC.
