That's a hack/workaround, but yes, if we can't do better
then that would definitely help.

If that's at the end of the doc for the up event
then I suspect some users looking for info about
the down event might never notice it.

It should perhaps be made very prominent - ideally
just as prominent as before.  Previously we had two
headings for the two events.  That prominent, whether
done using headings or some other way - that would be
my suggestion.
