begin/end (events or syncbase?)

Hello,

The SMIL timing model are talking about syncbase elements, e.g

begin="video1.begin"

and they're talking about events, e.g

begin="video1.someevent"

But the syncbase values begin/end are also events (DOM events)

Reading up on the TimeGraph model, they set slightly different rules for
handling syncbases and events

Is it correct that an implementation MUST differ between these two (instead
of also treating begin/end as events?)
(The statement above seems to indicate this, but I just want to make sure
(because it would be simpler if one could treat them the same :)

Is it correct that it's IMPOSSIBLE to specify e.g begin="video1.begin" and
tell the implementation to treat it as an event? (since the syntax for
syncbase would be the same?

thanks,
