Yes, that's what was (is) doing before this PR. I don't think it's a good idea though, as the event type is located in the package of the instrumented code, and thus this event name also would be related to that, which I think is confusing.

So I changed it to base the event name of the name given in the XML file (which you just renamed to "label", which makes sense to me). So I could see us doing either what I propose here, or derive the name from the id given in the XML (makes more sense to me now in the light of that renaming you did). And perhaps even make id mandatory in the XSD?
