There is a special format in the "extended event descriptor" for actors 
and stuff, but currently we're not parsing it but just dumping it all 
into the description string. Do you think this is what you have? In that 
case it would be better if you could do that parsing directly in 
ProcessExtendedEventDescriptor instead. BTW, we should also handle 
segmented extended decriptors by concatenating them but that's another 
story.

Private table is probably the place for it, but is it really necessary? 
Wouldn't it be possible to just test for it?

The EIT code is already pretty hard on the CPU (it processes tons of 
events per second) so please keep this in mind when adding extra stuff. :)
