i should add that i have no idea how accurate those definitions are. i 
can only guarantee that at some point in time they were correct which 
sort of goes back to why i don't think we (consumers) should be handling it.

i should also add, in addition to event definitions, we have meter 
definitions[1] which essentially does same thing but just pulls out 
measurement data. so maybe what you're trying to achieve is a stage 
before what Ceilometer is trying to achieve aka normalisation.

from Ceilometer POV, we use these yaml files and convert them into 
definition python objects[2]. i don't know if this use case can be 
covered by your proposal or if it's something you want to target.
