This SNAC is sent as a control message, sent by a client to inform the recipient of an event, or by the host informing of an event.

At this time the only events defined are NONE, TYPED, and TYPING. The client should send events only after receiving a message that indicates events are desired. This is another SNAC that is both sent and received by the client.
