+Events
+======
+
+All communication in Matrix is expressed in the form of data objects called
+Events. These are the fundamental building blocks common to the client-server,
+server-server and application-service APIs, and are described below.

+{{common_state_event_fields}}
+
+
+Size limits
+-----------
+
+The total size of any event MUST NOT exceed 65 KB. There are additional
+restrictions on sizes per key:
+
+ - ``user_id`` MUST NOT exceed 255 bytes (including domain).
+ - ``room_id`` MUST NOT exceed 255 bytes.
+ - ``state_key`` MUST NOT exceed 255 bytes.
+ - ``type`` MUST NOT exceed 255 bytes.
+ - ``event_id`` MUST NOT exceed 255 bytes.
+
+Some event types have additional size restrictions which are specified in
+the description of the event. Additional keys have no limit other than that
+implied by the total 65 KB limit on events.
+
+Room Events
+-----------
+.. NOTE::
+  This section is a work in progress.
+
+This specification outlines several standard event types, all of which are
+prefixed with ``m.``
