I'm not quite sure I see the connection between using xEvents for the
callback and having WriteEventsToClient handle InternalEvents; it seems
like the callback should take InternalEvents and do what it likes with
those, including converting them to xEvents if necessary. In particular,
it looks to me like merging this patch will cause a whole bunch of
unnecessary work when RECORD is initialized, even if no-one is listening
for RECORD events, no?
