Questions are good.  I don't mind.

Yes, the same restriction would be for ast_event_ie.  The reason I put them
internally instead of a common place was that I didn't envision the need for
whatever transport method used to know the structure of the event itself.  It is
just given a blob of data that needs to get across the network and can find out
the length using an ast_event_get_size() API call (which only exists in the
branch where I have been working on methods for transporting these across the
network).
