I doubt this is frequently asked, but the info is there, although not totally understandable. Anyhow it states: Since the format of some events is not yet known (the number of entries is not final) the organisation produced ...

Ok. This looks indeed fine for the DI. I did not know about this.
Three questions:
1) Would using these for the session keys be safe?
