Then the definition goes onto say:

"Examples of things <keyword> might be used to describe include event 
type, event etiology, incident ID and response type"

Which seems much broader.

It maybe more clearer if we adopt a more structured definition 
standard, such as ISO11179

For example:

name:        Target Keyword
identifier:  keyword
definition   The topic area of the message(s) for processing routing 
decisions
obligation:  optional
datatype:    valueListURN
occurence:   repeatable
comment:     Examples include....

Cheers...
