ceilometer uses it to create events and meters. events just capture the 
message as is and might strip out some superfluous details. meters are 
numerical values (associated with time). in both cases, we have yaml 
files where we just define 'if message event_type equals blah, strip out 
values x, y, and z'[1][2]

we don't use versioned notifications but if we had resources we might[3]

most of us wont' be at PTG. if you find Hanxi Liu, then you might have
