It is unexpected to me that this is made model specific while the
implementation is built around a guid. What will happen when
a new system using the same event layout arrives? Will the url
above be duplicated for this new system's acronym and contain
duplicate data? How will the resctrl support change? If I understand
correctly resctrl will not need to be changed but instead the "CWF"
events will just automatically be used for this new hypothetical
system? This makes me think that this should not be so CWF specific.
